Procedure print this to teach by Draw FrankensteinSTEP 1Draw a big UConnect the top Draw a ZIGZAG line across the top to make the hair don’t touch the top of the headDraw 2 more U shapes for the eyes - connect the topDraw a wavy line for the mouthDraw a smaller - upside down - U shape for the noseDraw 2 bolts toward the bottom of the face - there will not be a neckFor the shoulders draw 2 straight lines - near the bolts - from the face to the edge of the paperDraw a V shape under his chin - touch the bottom of the paperDraw 2 zigzag lines to make the collar of his jacket. **Add details like eyebrows, inside the eye, nostrils, stiches, etc.Go over all lines with the black oil pastel. Note - make sure their lines are thick enough to see.STEP 2Paint with the tempera cakes - in the white trays.Tempera cakes provide concentrated, brilliant color in a convenient package. Simply moisten the cake with a brush, and paint as you would with an opaque tempera or a watercolor wash. Don’t use too much water - it may end up puddling under the cake.The pros - there is no spillage, no waste, and no overload of color when using tempera cakes. It is like using a poster paint that never dries up! They are easier for a group of children to share, and easier to manage in a classroom. The tempera cakes and trays need to be left out to dry.
start off with the head- a big oval with a flat top, then add the rest of the features. We didn't include a neck- simply the shoulders as a straight line to the edge of the paper and a collar for the jacket.
