Students will:
1. Border paper and center the butterfly design. Use the tracing light to speed the process
2. When ready for paint, prepare table with newspaper. Get pallet, water, brush and paint and set on table.
3. Paint their design by creating values in each section of the butterfly. Avoid black paint as it will be needed for the background.
4. The background, once painted black, will have white dots added with liquid white tempera and the eraser of a pencil, or upside down paint brush. Dot the entire background.
5. Upon completion, a black sharpie will be added around all the butterfly lines. At this point circles of different sizes will be added into the butterfly wings, and body.
6. Cut painting when done and mount on colored construction paper.
7. Place name, grade and block on paper and place in grade box
