Easy How to Draw a Table Tutorial and Table Coloring Page
Below you’ll find an easy step-by-step tutorial for how to draw a Table and a Table Coloring Page.
Drawing of a Table
Students can use some math vocabulary when they learn how to draw a table like this one. The first step is to draw a trapezoid, and continues with lots of parallel and perpendicular lines. When there is a need to draw things that are sitting on a table, it will be a very helpful first step.
This tutorial of a table has a bit of perspective to it, so it’s probably best as something to help older elementary students draw one. The shapes are simple enough, but the way the bottom of the legs line up with each other takes a little bit more understanding that the further away things are, the smaller they appear.
