3D Flower Drawing For Kids
3D drawing is a visual illusion trick kids will love to learn.
In this project, we will be learning about the properties of depth perception.
You will draw an object that looks like it’s jumping out of (or into) the 2D piece of paper.
See how your eyes can perceive images differently when the picture is distorted.
It’s the perfect fine motor and concentration exercise.
It can also spark some artistic creativity in kids.
How To Draw A 3 Dimension (3D) Flower
Draw a 3D flower on a 2D paper!
Materials
- paper
- marker (any color)
- pencil
Tools
- adult supervision
Instructions
- Trace the outline of a flower on the paper using a pencil.
- Draw parallel straight lines across the paper.When you reach the outline, skip over the flower and continue drawing the straight lines on the other side of the flower.
- After you finish drawing parallel lines all over the paper, fill in the flower with curve lines.Draw an arch between the point where the straight line ends on one side of the flower and the point where the straight line begins on the other side again.
Why
Depth perception is our visual ability to perceive the distance of an object.
It allows us to perceive three dimensions (3D) in the world around us.
This line drawing technique makes use of curvilinear perspective to create depth perception so that a drawing on 2D surface is perceived to be 3D.
Here are more examples and technical explanation of this technique: Spherical Perspective
