Circle City

 


You need: 

  1. white drawing sheet
  2. compass
  3. ruler
  4. pencil
  5. markers
  6. colored sheet
  7. glue

Explain the one-point perspective: objects that are further away appear smaller. If we draw a street towards the horizon, it narrows and trees get smaller. 

In one-point perspective you draw all lines parallel to the viewing direction to one point. You literally put a dot on the horizon. 

What to do? 

  • Draw a circle of 20 cm in diameter using the compass. Mark the hole in the center with a dot.  
  • Draw lines form the edges of the circle to the dot in the middle, using ruler and pencil. 
  • Draw buildings in different heights using the lines.  Draw doors and windows. 
  • Color with markers. Outline everything with a fine black marker. 
  • Cut the circle and stick it on a colored sheet.

2. Draw a wavy line on 2/3 of the bottom.
3. Place a dot in the middle on the top of the sheet.
4. Draw lines with a ruler from the bottom and sides of the sheet to the dot.
5. Divide the strips in squares.

You need:
  1. drawing sheet A4 size
  2. colour pencils
  3. ruler
A lesson about drawing one point perspective.

Students draw a square in the middle of their sheet and draw four lines from the corners to the middle, see schedule. These are the floor and ceiling lines. Draw two lines from both short sides to the middle. Between these two lines the paintings has to be drawn. Draw lines from the bottom to the middle for tiles or parquet.
It's nice to draw artworks that students have made this schoolyear or to choose for artworks of famous painters.
Colour with colour pencils.
