3rd Grade Global Skylines


3rd Graders observed and discussed many images of structures from around the globe - from Ancient Egyptian pyramids to contemporary Skyscrapers. Students used the many images they saw as references and inspiration as they drew sketches of unique “global cityscapes” composed of buildings and structures that could be imagined or representations of actual structures.

After creating their sketches they drew their cityscapes with white pencil onto black paper and then cut away the negative space. In visual art, the term negative space refers to the area of a two-dimensional artwork in which there is no object or image. Students then glued their cut-out skylines onto abstract sunsets they painted, highlighting the important role played by negative space in creating a visually dynamic artwork.
