In this lesson, students learn how to draw a 3D Rubik’s Cube step-by-step, starting from basic shapes and gradually adding details to create a realistic cube. The process involves making dots, connecting them to form a cube, adding legs to represent a table, and finally coloring the cube with vibrant colors. By the end of the lesson, students are encouraged to experiment with different colors and patterns, fostering creativity in their artwork.

Let’s Draw a 3D Rubik’s Cube!

Today, we’re going to have some fun drawing a 3D Rubik’s Cube! Get your drawing tools ready, and let’s begin this exciting adventure!

What You Need

Before we start, make sure you have these things:

  • A black marker or a pencil
  • Two sheets of paper to protect your table

Step 1: Start with the Base

1. Make Two Dots: Put two dots on your paper. These dots will help us make the edges of our Rubik’s Cube. Make sure they are straight and not too close to the paper’s edge.

2. Add More Dots: Imagine a line going down the middle of your two dots. Now, place one dot above and one below this line. Make sure they are evenly spaced.

Step 2: Connect the Dots

1. Make a V Shape: Join the top dot to the left and right dots to create an upside-down V shape.

2. Finish the Square: Draw lines from the bottom of the V to the two horizontal dots. This will look like a square sitting on a table.

Step 3: Draw the Table Legs

1. Middle Leg: From the center of the square, draw a straight line down. This is the middle leg of the table.

2. Side Legs: Measure the middle leg and draw two more legs on each side. Make sure they are the same length.

Step 4: Form the Cube

1. Connect the Edges: Extend lines from the top of the square downwards to make the cube’s edges. Keep the angles right to make it look 3D.

2. Divide the Cube: To make the smaller squares on the Rubik’s Cube, divide the edges into three parts by drawing two vertical lines on each side.

Step 5: Add the Final Details

1. Draw Horizontal Lines: Draw horizontal lines across the cube to make the grid pattern of the Rubik’s Cube.

2. Top Lines: Add lines on the top of the cube. Make sure they are parallel to the sides.

Step 6: Color Your Rubik’s Cube

1. Pick Your Colors: Use colors like yellow, red, blue, green, and white. You can color the squares in a solved pattern or mix them up for fun!

2. Thicken the Lines: After coloring, use a black colored pencil to make the lines between each block thicker, just like a real Rubik’s Cube.

Conclusion

Great job! You’ve drawn and colored your own 3D Rubik’s Cube. Remember, you can always try different colors and patterns. Have fun with your art, and try new things next time!

  • What was your favorite part about drawing the 3D Rubik’s Cube, and why did you like it?
  • Can you think of other objects that you would like to draw in 3D? What makes them interesting to you?
  • Have you ever played with a real Rubik’s Cube? How is drawing one different from playing with it?
  1. Build a Real-Life Cube: Use small building blocks or cubes to create a 3D Rubik’s Cube model. Try to match the colors and patterns you used in your drawing. As you build, think about how the different sides of the cube connect and how the colors can be arranged. This hands-on activity will help you understand the 3D shape better.
  2. Color Hunt: Go on a color hunt around your house or classroom. Find objects that match the colors of a Rubik’s Cube: red, blue, green, yellow, white, and orange. Arrange these objects to form a cube shape. Discuss with a friend or family member why certain colors are easier to find than others and how colors can change in different lights.
  3. Story Time with Shapes: Imagine your Rubik’s Cube drawing is part of a story. Write or tell a short story about an adventure involving your cube. Maybe it gets lost and needs to find its way back home, or perhaps it helps solve a mystery. Share your story with your classmates or family and see if they can add to it!
