Study the lesson image. Using a pencil, draw the balls as shown in the picture, and use heavy black lines. Draw rest lines for the objects. The rest line represents the surface on which the objects stand. As with prior exercises, the instructor should demonstrate each drawing for children and direct children to copy the drawings. Children should practice these drawings over the week.
