What this lesson teaches
Drawing with numbers is a creative technique that uses written digits as the basic framework for creating pictures. By adding lines, curves, and details to simple numerals such as 1 and 2, shapes can be turned into drawings like a boat and a swan.
Materials needed
- Paper for drawing
- Pens and sketch pens for outlining
- Crayons for coloring the finished pictures
Steps to draw a boat using number 1
- Write a large number 1 in the center of the paper to serve as the mast and sail.
- Draw two angled lines downward on the sides below the number 1.
- Connect the two side lines with a horizontal line to create the base of the boat.
- Draw three circles inside the base of the boat.
- Extend the main line upward to make the sail larger, then draw a small rope attached to it.
Steps to draw a swan using number 2
- Write a clear number 2 to form the head and neck of the swan.
- Draw a curved line connecting to the bottom line of the number 2 to shape the swan's body and tail.
- Add a small eye and a pointed beak onto the head.
- Draw a small line on the body to represent the feathers.
- Sketch lines around the bottom of the body to show water supporting the swan.
Finishing and coloring
After completing the line drawings using a pen or sketch pen, crayons can be used to add color. Both the boat and the swan can be colored in any chosen shades to finish the artwork.
