Drawing and Umbrellas
Learning how to draw an umbrella is a fun thing to do on a rainy day, or any day for that matter. And if you have some help drawing one with a view like this, with just a little turn to the side, it becomes such a more interesting drawing!
This tutorial is a bit of a cross between a connect the dots, and a DIY project. My experience is that elementary students need a bit of help in setting up an evenly spaced octagon, but providing the entire shape doesn’t help them think things out. The solution? A template that you can print that has just the eight dots so their umbrella gets off to a good start, and the rest will be up to them. There’s a tutorial below for this solid color version, and another for the fancier pattern version further down on this page. I hope one of them is the perfect support for your students learning how to draw an umbrella!
Why Draw with Guides?
You may have noticed that all of the tutorials on this website have a dashed vertical line and horizontal line running through the center of each step. If students make their own centered lines on their own paper, before drawing, they will have an easy reference to follow. All they need to do is fold their sheet of paper in half both ways, make a crease, and unfold. The best part is, by the time the drawing is done and colored in, the creases will have disappeared!
