Pictures or Still Life Fruit Cut into Slices Steps 1. Fruit Color Illustration Art Supplies you will need: Have kids sketch any geometric shape or patterns they recognize.Īsk kids if there is any symmetry balance in these patterns they see. Show kids examples of easy to complex patterns.Īsk kids to observe still life or pictures of fruit cut open revealing the patterns inside.Īsk them to see if there are any geometric shapes or patterns. This can be very simple for young kids and more complex for older kids. Have kids draw geometric shapes into a symmetrical balanced pattern. Have kids make two to three geometric shapes, then draw the centerline to show symmetrical balance on both sides. Show examples of the centerline in a symmetrical shape and how both sides are always equal. Show kids what symmetry is and what symmetrical balance looks like. This step can take several drawings until kids are satisfying with their shapes.Īllow kids to practice this until they can draw recognizable shapes.įor older kids you can discuss how geometric shapes can look 3-D by creating volume or space with lines. Students may need to learn how to erase lines until they get the exact shape they want. You may need to demonstrate how to make straight lines with a ruler, and how to sketch curved round shapes. Have students sketch a couple of shapes without shading, just in line. If you want you can go over the names of these shapes and point out simple shapes around them. Show kids geometric shapes and how they look. Pictures or still life fruits cut into slices Sketch paper 3 to 5 sheets or drawing journal Geometric Line Shape Drawings Art Supplies you will need: Older students can also learn how to create volume and space by drawing 3-D line shapes. Older students can be challenged to make geometric patterns with more detail and consistent proportion. Younger kids need more time to master drawing line shapes in proportion. Having kids first learn to draw basic geometric shapes can help first before attempting to draw fruit.įor young kids 1st – 4th grade I recommend just practice drawing 2-D flat geometric shapes. This lesson can be done all in one day or broken into smaller lessons. Patterns of symmetry can be spotted in many natural objects even fruit!īoth lower elementary and upper grade students really enjoy drawing fruit when they discover the fascinating natural patterns within them. Geometric shapes and Symmetry can be exciting for kids to learn when linked to the natural World. Geometry & Symmetry has fascinated many of us including great minds like philosophers, astronomers, mathematicians, artists, architects, and physicists. I’m also including a suggested materials list.Īlmost everything we draw starts with identifying a common shape or form. In this blog I want to give you some simple drawing lessons on geometric shapes and symmetrical balance. Kids Geometric Symmetry Fruit Drawing Lesson By Spramani Elaun
