Description
Teaching perspective to young artists can be tricky. Using castles, dragons, a princess, and frog, this drawing lesson helps makes this topic compressible and fun.
I’ve divided the activities into 3 suggested age groups. This allows you as a teacher to tailor the lesson to fit the experience and skill level of your students. Teachers can also differentiate this lesson for students that need more of a review or more of a challenge.
This drawing lesson is NOT perspective drawing using vanishing points and a ruler. I’ll save that for another lesson. This lesson will help students understand the basic concepts of creating 3D space on a flat piece of paper using size and placement.
Your kindergarten students will:
• Identify which objects look close or far away on a piece of paper.
• Draw a dragon that looks farther away than the other dragons on the page.
• Draw a princess and frogs on a page using size and placement.
Your grade 1-3 students will:
• Learn 4 Laws of Perspective dealing with size, overlap, horizon line, and placement.
• Draw a castle using basic shapes, using their choice of details.
• Decide if the castle will be in the foreground, middle ground, and background.
• Use the correct size and placement for their castle.
• Add a princess and frog using the correct size and placement.
Your grade 4+ students will:
• Learn 7 Laws of Perspective dealing with size, overlap, the horizon, and placement, ellipse, foreshortening and vanishing point
• Practice drawing and shading a sphere, cube, cone, and cylinder.
• Draw a castle using basic forms, using their choice of details.
• Decide if the castle will be in the foreground, middle ground, and background.
• Use the correct size and placement for their castle.
• Add shading shadows in their picture.
• Add a princess and frog using the correct size and placement.
