Finding Proportions

Today we will begin to learn the skills we need make a realistic drawing.

We will first focus on drawing ellipses. I have a worksheet for you to work on.

We will then practice making a drawing that is in Proportion, meaning that the top and sides are in the correct ratio to each other.



Use your pencil and thumb to measure a distance on the object. This is called the Unit of Measure.







Then use the unit of Measure to find out how tall the tube is. Drop your pencil and thumb down the length of the tube and count how many widths you find.



1 width


2 widths


..and the tube is almost 3 widths tall.

Here is a link that goes into much more detail about this process.
