Using the Grid System to draw accurately

Today you will be using a grid to create accurate drawings.

First, write your name and block on the back of the page.

Second, label each grid  square in the following manner:

Label each square across the top A through k on both the picture and the blank grid

Label each square down the side 1 through 8 on both the picture and the blank grid

Next, start with a square of your choice and use the grid over the picture to where find each line or shape lies. For example, the center of the flower lies in square F3.

On the grid below precisely draw each line as it appears in the picture.

Draw the Flower, Hand, Pizza, and the Mystery grid, in that order. Take your time on each one. If you don't finish we'll work on them next week.
