8

Form (continued)-

12

• Circular from all possible points of view. Its surface consists of points, all of which are the same distance (radius) from its center.

Learning to draw a still life:

• When you have completed your sentence writing, begin drawing the still life on the blank paper attached to your vocabulary.

• The teacher will turn on the spot light and turn off the lights so that you can clearly see the shading a shadows

• This drawing is a preliminary sketch only. We will begin the final drawing on Friday.
