Snowmen Perspectives

• Draw 4 different perspectives of a snowman
• Looking down on snowman=bird’s eye view
• Looking up at a snowman from below=worms eye view
• Use warm and cool color backgrounds to brighten artwork
• Frame with black paper

Think of different snowmen you have made or seen. Think of different places you could stand to see a snowman in a different way. These are called perspectives. You could be seeing it from the front, side, back, above it, below it, close up or far away, melting, ect.

Different perspectives of the same snowmen. When you are doing a drawing, think of the different perspectives (different views) you could draw it from to make a better composition and something out of the ordinary.

Divide your paper into four boxes. You can do this by folding your paper in half one time. Open it up and then fold it the other way in half. Open it up and you have 1/4 s. �2. It doesn’t matter which way you do this project, portrait or landscape unless directed by teacher to do one or the other.�3. Pencil sketch a different snowman perspective in each of the 4 boxes�4. Trace all your lines with black marker. Add snowflakes before or after you color the backgrounds if you want them.�(Snowflakes can be made with small circles, or an “x” with another line through it to make 6 points and then dots at the ends of the six points. Look at some of the examples but don’t over do it on the snowflakes)�5. Frame by putting black paper or other color behind. (Teacher may want to cut down white art paper by an inch on each side first, so regular size black art paper frames it when you place the white on top of it)

Using warm and cool colors brightens art work.

Without color in the background, this one is not as appealing to the eye.
