Ryan Art 6 Learning to Grid to Redraw Photographs

Check out these drawing skills.

Students are practicing to get ready for their PROJECT. 

After researching our TOTEM animals, we have printed off pictures of our animal.

Now we are learning how to REDRAW something accurately for a photograph.

We do this by GRIDDING our drawing AND our sheet of paper.

The grids have to match proportionatly. And there must be the SAME number of squares.

Then- whatever is square A1 of the photograph, needs to be drawn in the A1 box of the blank sheet.

If you follow that pattern for ALL 25 squares you get a REALLY impressive almost exact copy.

We're using HIGHER level thinking skills here. We have to use the LEFT side of our brain to figure out the ORDER and the RIGHT side of brain to figure out HOW to draw it.

We've got some smart kiddos!
