Product Description
Learn to draw an ancient Roman palace; use warm and cool colors to create depth.
The Roman Emperor Diocletian built himself a retirement palace so large that today one can find an entire functioning village inside the palace walls. The view in this picture looks across the courtyard just inside the main entrance to the palace.
Since one looks through the columns in the forefront to see the facade behind, and since the entire palace would have been painted in Diocletian’s day, the picture we have here seems like an interesting way to learn history.
At the same time, it’s a good opportunity to learn about using warm and cool colors to create the sense of depth. We will use chalk pastels as our medium; they allow the artist to make changes and adjustments easily.
This lesson includes both POWERPOINT and VIDEO versions of the lesson plus 2 downloadable printouts: a warmup and a drawing of the palace.
Approximate Time to Complete the Art Class:
- Introduction through guided drawing: 35 minutes
- Finishing the picture: 90 minutes
- Total time: 125 minutes
Families will have access to the online lesson for one year from the date of purchase.
