A grid drawing uses a scale to enlarge or reduce the size of a drawing. First a grid is drawn over the original graphic. Then an enlarging grid (eg scale 3:1) or reduction grid ( eg scale 1:3) can be drawn out on a fresh piece of paper. The original is then copied ou square by square by square.
This should give an exact replica of the original only scaled up or scaled down.

Minding their own business they made their way along thinking about pie rolls, sherbet
blocks and Irn-
Ironically some S1 pupils were in the middle of a grid drawing project on dinosaurs and some thought that this would be a good opportunity to get closer to their subject. The big beasties did not have a chance!
