More about Drawing Buildings

This building tutorial walks students through an easy way to draw a row of buildings. If they start with a row of rectangles, various heights and sharing sides, it will simplify the process of adding depth to them. Once they add diagonal corner lines all going in the same direction, the final step of connecting them becomes easier to see and do. A closer look at the step by step directions below will help explain that.

When students start to learn more about squares and cubes, they might be ready to apply those ideas to real life and learn how to draw a building. And not just any building, but buildings that look 3D! Their cityscape drawings will go to a whole new level when they learn how to add some sides to their buildings, so they can have some dimension to them.
