The document provides instructions for enlarging a picture using a grid method. It involves: 1. Marking the picture with horizontal and vertical lines to create a grid. 2. Creating a larger grid on a new sheet of paper. 3. Copying the picture square by square onto the new larger grid to enlarge it.

1. Art 1: Enlarging a Picture with
1
Select the picture you want to enlarge.
2
Place a ruler along the top edge of the
picture.
3
Make a small mark with a pencil at
every 1/2 inch.
4
Mark the bottom edge of the picture
the same way. Make sure you have
the same number of marks at the
top and bottom of the picture.
5
Connect each pencil mark at the top of
the picture with a corresponding
mark at the bottom using a ruler.
This will make parallel lines over
the picture.
6
Measure and mark every 1/2 inch
along the side edges of the picture.
a Grid
7
Connect the marks on each side. Your picture
is now covered with squares called a grid.
8
Calculate how much larger you need to make
your picture and how large you need to
make squares on a second grid. For
example, if you are doubling the picture
size, squares in the second grid will be 1
inch.
9
Draw a second grid on a larger sheet of blank
paper. Use a yardstick to make this larger
grid if necessary.
10
Copy the picture from the first grid, square by
square, by drawing it on the new, larger
grid.
