Brooklyn Bridge Silhouettes



2nd graders drew Brooklyn Bridge silhouettes after looking at Walker Evan's Brooklyn Bridge photograph.  We discussed perspective and what it would look like if you were standing on the bridge looking at the towers.  Students were instructed how to draw the image and then colored their drawings with black crayon.  The last step was to add a sunset using colored pencils.  The results were stunning!

  2. Hi, I'm glad I came across your blog. I'm always on the hunt for new elementary art blogs. I teach art on Long Island so we are neighbors! You've got some great lessons on here thanks for sharing them :)
