We took one day to practice sketching the forms. I used the overhead to show them step by step for each form. The next class, students were asked to draw the forms on their final papers. Most students stacked the forms -in what looked like very unstable towers :)- and some even added colorful backgrounds.
First grade took on a high school level challenge as they drew and shaded solid figure forms. The two objectives of this lesson were for students to recognize the difference between shapes and forms and for students to be able to create a variety of values with their crayons. These students are quite impressive, and actually accomplished much more than that!
