grid instructions

here's a recap of the instructions of the grid you're making for tomorrow:

1. cut a 6 x 8 inch window into a piece of cardboard
2. with strings, create a grid that makes 1 inch squares inside the window (ie cut lengths of string that are as wide as the window and then tape them to each side, one inch apart. do this horizontally and vertically)
3. draw a 3 inch grid on two sheets of your newsprint (ie each line is three inches apart)
4. label the columns on both your cardboard grid and your newsprint with letters (a,b,c...) and the rows with numbers (1,2,3...)

the more carefully and accurately you make both your grids, the more accurate your drawing will be.
