3-D Drawing Prompts
Crafts Ages 6-12 15-20 minutes
3-D Drawing Prompts Description Three-dimensional objects are the centerpiece of these two-dimensional drawings.
Materials
Paper Pencils Crayons Markers Variety of small objects
Preparation Collect “drawing prompt” objects such as toys, recycled items, utensils, buttons— anything that will fit within the area of the drawing paper. Display the items so that the participants can easily pick and choose the ones they would like to use for their drawings.
Implementation 1. Select a drawing prompt object and place it on the drawing paper. 2. Consider how to use the object in the picture. The drawing may incorporate the object’s actual function or it might use the object’s shape in place of something else in the drawing (e.g. a miniature toy car can possibly be included in a drawing of a roadway, or maybe it can turned into a building as part of a cityscape drawing). 3. Draw and colour around it. Work the object into the picture. 4. Also consider the different perspectives of the object, looking at it from different angles. It’s possible to draw around the object to create an interesting 3-D effect.
