1st grade observed several pictures of cityscape and made an observation list of the lines, shapes, and juicy details. Since they just did a lesson on vertical, horizontal, and diagonal lines, they had fun spotting them in the cityscape examples.
Students first drew their cityscapes, then watercolored their juicy details!
amazingly beautiful....!
ReplyDeletewhat examples did you look at with them?
ReplyDeleteMorning Denise! I have a Crystal Production pack that I ordered about 5 years ago. It includes 5 artworks of cityscapes. It's one of their Take 5 Print Sets and it's fabulous! I also use the landscape one. Here's the link to the site. http://www.crystalproductions.com/index.asp?url=IND
ReplyDeleteI also printed out half sheet photos of cities for the students to use as a reference.
Wow these are gorgeous! I just did this lesson with my 1st graders, too. We started with a little directed line drawing in one point perspective, just drawing a road and a tall building.
