Brainstorm
Ms. Vermeer has given you a random product to create an advertisement for. First you must come up with 4 different ideas for your ad. You can use the internet to research. Each ad must include an original brand name. (You have to make up your own. For example, if you have chips you cannot use an existing brand name like Doritos. You have to make up your own original brand name). Each ad must have a slogan that will persuade someone to buy it. Each ad must have a picture of the product.

Design
Draw your ad in pencil first. Then you will paint. Use the color wheel to mix colors and paint using care and craftsmanship.
