4th Grade St. Basil's Cathedral Architecture Drawings
As the first lesson of our architectural unit, fourth grade artists are studying St. Basil's Cathedral in Moscow, Russia. We looked at its unique colors and patterns, and at its signature onion domes. Then we practiced using markers to make different values and textures, using techniques like hatching, cross-hatching, and stippling. Finally, we got to design the outside of our own towers!
Our last step was to carefully cut out our building and glue it to a bright colored paper. Special thanks goes out to Deep Space Sparkle for this inspiring lesson plan!
