SYMBOL
How many had a house like this in class?
This is a symbol. It’s a simplified version used to communicate. It’s not visually as interesting
STEP TWO
Don’t draw what you think a house should look like
Draw what it actually looks like
GUIDED FIELD TRIP
Close your eyes
pretend you are in front of your house. See the answers in your minds eye:
Number of steps to your house
Shape of porch and roof
shapes of windows and door
can you see one side of your house while you see the other
how does the house touch the ground
what else is going on
NOW DRAW THAT HOUSE you just saw in your minds eye
Take 5 minutes
How was the enjoyment?
How is this being an artist vs the first drawing?
What made it better?
