Part 1: Review
At this point in the project you should have completed your brainstorm superhero with all the necessary details. Along with that you should have included one shading technique chosen from the various ones you tried out in the shading exercise. After the exercise you were also required to write a blog post about what shading technique was easy, what was hard, what one are you going to use, and why?
From there you moved on to starting drawing your designed superhero on our final paper. You should have totally recreated your brainstorm drawing, just on a larger scale and with more attention to detail and craftsmanship. When finished drawing our person in pencil you then went over it using pen or fine point sharpie.
Part of what you drew on your Superhero was to apply your chosen shading technique onto them while being aware of light sources, refer to image at bottom of page in Lesson 2. Now think about what shading technique you chose, and what other shading techniques you tried out. We discussed and practiced Scribbling, Cross Hatching, Hatching, Stippling, and finally Contour Lines. With this though in mind I want to move onto our review for this lesson, a activity where you will be assigned a specific shading technique from the list in the sentence before. This will be done in a PiratePad page and In this I want you to accomplish 3 things:
1.) Write a description in your own words. This should include what it looks like and how one does this shading technique.
2.) Link to a web page with their detailed description/definition of what the shading technique is.
3.) Link to an image that shows what the shading technique looks like.
When all these are completed move on to part two,

Part 2: Learn, Practice, Complete
For this section you will learn about water color, practice it, and then apply to final project.
Watch the video below to see how to work with watercolor and what you are expected to do with it on your final superhero.

When done apply your newly learned skills to your final superhero! When finished completely with your project move on to final part below.
For examples of finished superhero projects check out the Online Art Gallery and scroll down to the superhero section!
