I had my students create rough drafts/thumbnail sketches in their sketchbook before starting on their final paper. This allowed them to practice and mess up as much as possible before starting. I always recommend having students practice beforehand.

Click below to access the Prisma Color Practice Worksheet. After students finished sketching their final drawing, I had them complete the Prisma Color Practice WS. Students were required to complete at least 50% of the WS before moving on to their final project. How you teach color pencil techniques is up to your discretion.

Once students have finished shading their shapes, they were to cut them out and place them on a black piece of paper. Their projects have a “fancy” border but that is optional. Below is a video tutorial on the entire project process.

Below are close up examples from 6th and 7th graders.
