Drawing a Ferris wheel is super fun and creative! Follow these easy steps to make your own Ferris wheel picture. Grab your drawing tools, and let’s get started!
Before we begin, make sure you have these things:
Start by drawing a big circle near the top of your paper. This will be the Ferris wheel. If it’s hard to draw a perfect circle, you can use something round to trace. It’s okay if it takes a few tries!
Now, let’s divide the circle into parts. Draw a line down the middle and another across the center. Then, add diagonal lines like you’re cutting a pizza. This helps us make even sections.
Inside the big circle, draw some smaller circles. These will be where the seats go on the Ferris wheel.
Use your marker to draw the seats. Start at the top and draw a line across each small circle. Add a curved line on top for the roof. Then, draw a “U” shape for the bottom and connect it with a line to make the seat. You can add a smaller “U” for the door. Do this for each seat around the wheel.
Let’s draw the parts that hold up the Ferris wheel. Draw diagonal lines from the circle down to the sides. Make them thick for strong beams. At the bottom, draw a line for the base and connect the beams to it.
Use your eraser to remove any extra lines from the circle, structure, and seats. This makes your drawing look neat.
Now, trace over the main parts of your Ferris wheel with your marker. This includes the big circle, the beams, and the seats.
Make your Ferris wheel shine by adding small circles for lights around the edge and inside the seats. You can also draw fun designs or people inside the seats!
Time to add color! Use your favorite colors to fill in your drawing. Erase any leftover lines after coloring to keep it tidy.
Finish your artwork by drawing a background. You could add a fair or circus scene with roller coasters and other fun rides.
Great job! You’ve drawn a Ferris wheel. We hope you had fun and added your own special touches. Remember, you can always try new things and make your drawings unique. Happy drawing!
Build a Mini Ferris Wheel: Gather some simple materials like popsicle sticks, glue, and bottle caps. Try to build a mini Ferris wheel model. Think about how the structure holds up the wheel and how the seats are attached. Can you make it spin? Show your creation to your family and explain how you made it!
Ferris Wheel Observation Walk: Next time you visit a fair or amusement park, take a closer look at a real Ferris wheel. How many seats does it have? What colors do you see? Are there any lights? Draw a picture of what you see and compare it to your drawing. What is similar or different?
Design Your Own Ride: Imagine you are an engineer designing a new ride for a fair. Draw your ride on paper. What shape will it be? How will people sit on it? Will it have any special features like lights or music? Share your design with your classmates and explain why you think people would enjoy your ride.
