Going 3-D


If you have 5th or 6th graders, chances are these lines look pretty familiar to you. The older kids are learning how to make their drawings more realistic, and more 3-D.

There are several ways to make something that's flat on the page appear to be three dimensional. One way is by whats called "hatching". A form of hatching is one I've coined "smiley face lines" by putting these lines inside any shape, it will appear to pop out of the page, we've done two assignments with these hatching lines, and the kids really enjoyed them. I tell ya, they love to doodle!
