Project 1 - Spiderman
You will need a white paper that is at least 9"x12". You will use this paper vertically (long side will go from the top to the bottom). Using a ruler and a pencil, make 8 marks across the top and bottom of the paper that are 1 inch apart. Once you have the marks, connect the marks at the top to the marks at the bottom. When you have connected all of the marks, you should have 8 straight lines that go from the top to the bottom. Next, you will place your ruler vertically (from the top to the bottom), and make a mark at every inch. You will do this on the left and right side of the paper. You should have 11 marks. Once you have completed this task, you connect the marks on the left to the marks on the right, which will create 11 lines. You should now have a grid on your paper (if you are confused, watch the first video, it will help).
The reason that a grid is used, is to help you place lines on your paper, in the proper place. You will transfer the image below to the paper grid you created. Pay attention to where the line begins and ends in each square, and try to do the same on your paper. When you are done, you should have something that resembles the picture below. Don't worry if it isn't exact - this is the first time you are trying this, so it may not be absolutely perfect. Don't be afraid to go back and fix lines as you go.
