Our Birdwell maps

We used our local walk to redraw the ariel map of Birdwell as it actually is now…

We also learned some 3D drawing techniques to draw some of the places we saw from a ‘Street View’ perspective…Mr Swallow showed us how to use “vanishing points” (thats posh for 2 dots on the paper) and straight lines to draw buildings that got bigger as they got closer or smaller as they got further away.

We tried the technique ourselves and they are amazing for a first go at isometric drawing

  1. Some really Fab work Year 4. I can remember doing something really similar to this when I was younger, but I was in Secondary school – so how lucky are you to do this in Primary School. Mr Swallow always teaches the best lessons!!
