The Leaning Tower of Pisa Drawing
The Leaning Tower of Pisa is one of Italy’s most recognizable landmarks, which makes it a fun way to connect an art lesson with studies of Italy, architecture, and famous places around the world.
Its unusual tilt is part of what makes the tower so interesting to draw—but it can also make it a little tricky for students to get started. Instead of asking them to guess at the angle freehand, this tutorial includes a lightly pre-slanted grid to help establish the overall shape.
Once that structure is in place, students can focus on the details that really make the Leaning Tower of Pisa recognizable: its stacked levels, rows of arches, columns, and rounded top. The grid is included on page 2 of the tutorial below and gives students just enough guidance to capture that famous lean while still creating the drawing themselves.
