1. Activities (30min.)

1. Develop a grid using 12X16 paper. Students should fold horizontally three times then vertically three times creating 16 squares. Students should then practice drawing straight lines along the folds using a ruler.
2. Upon completion of the sample grid students should move to the 18X24 grid for the final project. Applying the same steps used in the sample.
3. Students will then begin searching for a cartoon block. The cartoon must have two characters, and bubble blurbs. The bubble blurb writing must be able to stand-alone. Students can have the option of changing what the writing says. Cartoon should be trimmed to the black line, and folded in grid form.
4. Students will then begin drawing the cartoon block they selected enlarging it onto 18X24 grid.
5. Students will complete a marker test before markering their project. Markering should be done in warm colors first then cool colors. Black marker will be used last for outlining cartoon block.

1. Completion of rubric on the finished art project.
