1. Give each student a piece of black paper, a pencil and half a dozen or so cutout square, rectangle and triangle cardboard shapes. I made lots of shapes that were all based on 1" proportions. My sample uses 2" squares, 1" x 2" rectangles (some with triangle tops) 3" x 2" rectangles, a 3" bridge, and a 2" circle.
2. Starting at the bottom, the students are to stack and trace the cardboard shapes until they have built a castle to their liking. A sun is also added somewhere in the sky. After the drawing is done, they trace all the pencil lines with a white colored pencil.
3. All the shapes are filled in with colored pencil. Tip: If you can, buy some good black Artagain paper which won’t face before your very eyes like the school-regulated construction paper does. There’s nothing like good materials to make good art!

Hi Kathy!! My blog project actually encouraged me to pursue my dream which is grade school education! I look forward to seeing and reading all of your posts :)
Thank you for this art project idea! I have a question, though. for the colored pencils - are they just regular colored pencils? I didn't think regular ones could show up on black paper.
You do need a higher quality pencil, say Crayola at least. Even then not all the colors show up really well, but most will do ok. I also used black paper from Strathmore which has a nice smooth surface to it.
