PROJECT NOTES

Start drawing lightly so you can erase it later. Don't worry if the lines are not straight- in real life these boats get beaten up, and a lot of the parts get bent and crooked.

BODY OF BOAT
The Body of the boat is drawn with some straight lines, one for the top and one for the bottom. The front is tilted out at the top and has two lines for the prow. The prow sticks up higher than the side of the boat. The back is like a  bent rectangle

SAIL
Not all sampans have sails but I think the bamboo pole sales look cool, so I put one on our drawing. It is just straight lines. Two go up and down for the mast they touch at the top and are wider at the bottom. There are six or seven lines going across. Do them in pairs so you have a top and bottom of each cross spar. Connect the ends for the cloth.

PUNTER MAN
The riverman is small, so don't try to give too much detail. Start with a stick figure that has a triangle for a chest and elbows in the arms. Put the punt pole in his hands that way you get the position of the hands and arms right. The hands are like squares. Next, draw the body around the stick figure. Lastly draw the clothing. Give him black pants.

DETAILS
Draw circles for tires on the sides of the boat. Draw an eye at the front of the boat. Add ropes and boxes. The house on the boat is another rectangle with an arch at the end. Use lines to show the bamboo poles inside.

If the boat is light make the water dark. if the boat is dark make the water light. Add mountains and trees on the edge of the river for a background.

PROJECT NOTES YOU MAY PRINT

BEGINNINGS
Remember to draw lightly so you can erase later.
The head is an oval shape. The pose is the three-quarter view, (where she is turning slightly away) so draw a guideline slightly to the left to help keep things straight. Use guidelines halfway down, and going across the face to place the eyes. Halfway below that draw, another one for the nose and halfway to the chin draw another for the mouth. The hair starts out as three large ovals.

FACE
Keep things simple. Draw two arches for the upper eyelid and a slightly curved line for the lower eyelid. The nose is a line going down and curving a little inward at the bottom. The mouth is small. The eyebrows are a thin line.

HAIR
Outline the flowers and any other ornaments you want to put in the hair before drawing in the hair. There are two chopsticks poking out, there are three strings of paper bells hanging down, and a charm that looks like a comb on the right side. The hair starts high up on the forehead. Remember to leave areas to be highlights- it is good to outline them early on. Use long curving lines starting at the forehead and going up or out. There is a bun at the top and a bun at the side. The highlights will help it to look real.

DRESS
The dress wraps around the shoulders. Draw two or four lines going down from the shoulders like cloth wrapping across.

NOTE: There is much confusion about the Geisha as who they are and what they do. The geisha is an artist who performs songs, dance, music, and other art forms. They were to be living expressions of art and beauty

Parents, teachers, and home school families may find this helpful in class or at home.

The Chinese Dragon is thought to be a creature of mythology so you can make it any way you want since it is very unlikely that someone will come up to you and say, "no that is wrong," since they never saw one so how can they know.

This style of the dragon is drawn as a long serpentine creature with legs.

PROJECT NOTES

BEGINNING
Draw the body as two long twisty lines. Start at the head end and gradually taper the lines to a point at the tail. Make it twisty. Add a third line for the spinal ridge; this third line will cross over from one side to the other to show the dragon is twisting.

LEGS
Position the legs where ever you want. To help get them right start lightly draw them like stick figures. Remember the elbows of the front legs point back and the knees of the back legs point forward. Draw the paws like stick figures too. After you have the legs in the place you want them to then go around the lines to give the legs thickness and the roundness of muscle. Do the same with the claws.

SPINE
The spine has a ridge made of spikes, draw them like small triangles. Follow the third line you drew so the spine ridges cross over. They will face one way and then the other.

HEAD
The head can be the most fun. In our drawing, it is long and narrow. You can sketch it any way you want. Decorate the head with flames and spikes. There is a chin beard, a mane of fire, long flowing whiskers, and long feathery eyebrows.

TAIL
The tale has flowing feathers or flame, they can fan out or form a shape like a paddle.

Add details like scales, flames, smoke, circles and what every you like to make it truly your own.

If your sketch of the Chinese dragon does not turn out the way you had hoped it would do not give up, you are learning. No one is as hard on themselves as a person who has the gift of art because you have the vision in your head and know how you want it to turn out- this shows you are thinking like a real artist.  Drawing takes practice, so come back to my blog every day and print off a few more of my drawing lessons and sketch them in a little while you will be drawing beautiful pictures.

OVERVIEW
The pagoda is a small monument in a garden. Our sketch is composed of some basic shapes and lines.

BEGINNING
Lightly draw a guideline up and down for the center so things are even on both sides, you will erase this later.
The top of the pagoda looks like an umbrella. Draw a triangle with the top point on the guideline. Below the triangle draw a curve like a bow on its back from tip to tip of the triangle, this is another guideline, you will erase it later. Below the bow-shaped guideline draw a square and then a second square around the square for the front of the pagoda. On each side draw a parallelogram (it is like a crooked rectangle) for the side windows and then draw a larger one around it for the side walls. Below these three sides draw the rectangles of the lower edge. Below that draw a tall rectangle for the pillar.

DEVELOP FORM
The top has two or three circles on the very top. The top is divided into three sections each like a triangle. These sections have curving lines; each section has a ball at the corner. The sidewalls of the pagoda each have a window. The pillar has flat sides, draw these as lines going up and down. The bottom has a circle base draw this as an oval with sides going down.

DETAILS
Draw the inside that you see through the window. Add shadows to the side away from the sun and inside. Create a garden to put it in.
