? Mrs Martin's Idea:-

Draw a piece of fruit or tin of food.

Choose a piece of fruit or a tin of food and place it on a plain piece of paper. Make a drawing, looking carefully at the shapes, colours, textures and patterns.

*Sketch the main shape in pencil. *If you have coloured pencils/pens, add colour. *Add textures, patterns and details.
