Monster-in-a-Box!
Do you remember how we drew boxes in Fifth grade? If you forgot, it okay, because we are going to do it again! If you do remember, don't worry, this one is different. The benefit of drawing one-point perspective again is practice! The more we draw, the better we get!
We will be drawing a box using one-point perspective. This technique will help us create a box that looks 3D. We will also talk about Monsters! Monsters aren't just the things that go bump in the night, they are also things that intimidate us, make us uncomfortable, or offer us a challenge we might not be ready for (just yet). What could your monster be?
Student example. Are you afraid of clowns? Im not, which many people say is quite odd.
What do you think this person's monsters are?
First things first, we must draw a 3D box!
We used this worksheet last year, but remember, the more we practice, the better we get!
After you finish drawing the three boxes on the left, try drawing three more on the right.
Don't worry, I'll give a demonstration in class and help you out if you get stuck.
After completing your worksheet, sketch out a box .....and monster!
Here is a sketch of my monster... I chose mushrooms, of course.
You don't need a lot of detail, just enough to plan out your space...fill the page! This is where you plan your colors and value too.
Value is the lightness and darkness of a color. When we use value, it help give our box the illusion of depth, making our box more 3D
Criteria:
- Neatly drawn boarder/frame. Use a ruler! Boarder/frame can be colored, decorated, or left blank.
- A box drawn using one point perspective.
- A "monster" coming out of the box.
- Colored neatly with colored pencil
- Image should fill the space.
