The first video is based on teaching contour line on the shape of the cob. 

Contour lines are lines that follow the outline of a shape. 

I compare them to the lines on a globe, a hot air balloon or a cactus. 

We then will draw kernels in each crossing contour line. 

Outline with permanent marker. 

alternative with acrylic

After outline is complete, white crayon (non washable) will be added to the tops of each kernel. 

This will be the shine on the glossy gems. 

You need to push down hard when doing shine in order for the paint to resist the wax. 

Then, using water paints, make each kernel colorful. You can use a color scheme or be totally random. It can be realistic or very abstract. You are the artist, you decide. 

Lastly, paint the background, if you want. 

I wanted to make mine colorful, but did not want my corn to be overpowered by the color.

So, I used horizontal lines of soft color underneath.
