As the new school year gets closer, let’s have some fun with a cool art project! We are going to learn how to draw a stack of books with an apple on top and some pencils. Grab your paper, markers, and coloring tools, and let’s get started!
1. Start with the Base: Draw a straight line across the bottom of your paper. This is the bottom of your first book.
2. Create the Top Line: Leave a little space above the bottom line and draw another straight line. This is the top of your book.
3. Shape the Book: Draw a small bump at one end for the book’s spine. Curve it around and back to the bottom line.
4. Add the Inside Cover: Draw another line just below the top line, following the spine’s shape.
5. Finish the Book Cover: Connect the top and bottom lines with a curve to complete the book cover.
6. Draw the Pages: Add a curve on the side for the pages and draw some dashed lines to show the page texture.
1. Repeat the Steps: Draw a smaller book on top of the first one. Start with the top line and follow the same steps to make the cover and pages.
2. Continue Stacking: Draw a third, even smaller book on top using the same techniques.
1. Outline the Apple: Draw a bump at the top for the apple, then a smaller bump below that looks like a smile.
2. Shape the Apple: Curve from the top bump down to the bottom and back up to make the apple’s shape.
3. Add the Stem and Leaf: Draw two curves for the stem, getting wider at the top. For the leaf, draw a curve out and back down to connect.
1. Create the Cup: Draw a diagonal line from the side of the books to make the cup. Connect it at the bottom to the books.
2. Draw the Top of the Cup: Draw a short line up and then across for the cup’s lip.
3. Add Pencils: Inside the cup, draw two diagonal lines for the first pencils. Add a line at the top and draw the metal part and eraser.
4. Include More Pencils: Draw more pencils of different lengths, using overlapping to make them look real.
1. Color Your Drawing: Once you’re done drawing, color it in with markers, crayons, or any colors you like.
2. Add a Background: Draw a background that looks like your school or home to make your artwork even better.
Great job! You’ve drawn a stack of books with an apple on top and a cup of pencils. This fun art project is a wonderful way to get ready for the school year. We hope you enjoyed this lesson and have a fantastic school year ahead!
Book Observation Walk: Take a walk around your classroom or home and look for different types of books. Notice the colors, sizes, and shapes of the books you find. Can you see the spines and covers like the ones you drew? Try to find a book that looks similar to your drawing and share what you found with a friend or family member.
Apple Exploration: Find a real apple and observe its shape, color, and texture. Compare it to the apple you drew. Can you see the stem and leaf on your apple? Try drawing another apple using what you observed from the real one. You can even taste the apple and describe how it feels and tastes to someone else.
Pencil Sorting Game: Gather some pencils and sort them by length, color, or type (e.g., colored pencils, regular pencils). Arrange them in a cup like in your drawing. Notice how they look when they overlap. Try drawing your own cup of pencils using the ones you sorted. Share your drawing with a classmate and see how theirs is different or similar to yours.
