Boxes with Imagination

•Using 2 Point Perspective, draw a stack of 5 or more boxes using a ruler and pencil. You can arrange them any way. •Make 4 or 5 of the boxes open. Openings can be on top, sides, or front, but must be visible. They can be lids or flaps.•Using your imagination, create a theme coming out of the boxes. It could be imaginary or realistic.•Once all the drawing is complete, shade completely. Think about your light source. Values should range from light to dark. Be consistent with shadows and highlights.•Fill your page completely.
