Arts and Crafts: 3D Letter A

Dear Oh To Be Members,

By popular demand, here is a little tutorial (lesson) on creating 3D letters!

***DISCLAIMER: Do NOT display 3D letters on public facilities.  Graffiti is vandalism and vandalism is a crime punishable by law.  These letters are intended for personal use ONLY.***


Letter of the Day: A

-Aloha (Hello!)
-America (United States)
-All-Star Students (Go Pumas!)
-Author's Purpose (Persuade, Inform, Entertain, Explain)
-Apostrophe (Grammatical Marking)
-Addition (Opposite/Inverse of _______)
-Atom (Basic Unit of a Chemical Element)
-Among the Hidden (Shadow Children, #1) (4h Grade Novel)


How To Make a 3D Letter A: Step By Step

Step 1:
Gather your supplies.












Step 2:
Practice writing the letter A on a lined piece of paper.












Step 3:
Try practicing other letters to help prepare for future tutorials!











 


Step 4:
Switch to using a plain piece of paper and practice writing the letter a little larger.












Step 5:
Draw an outline around the letter A.












Step 6:
Finish drawing outline around entire letter.












Step 7:
Practice drawing a 'block' letter A (only the outline) in different styles.




















Step 8:
Decide on the style you like best and start making it 3D by drawing a couple of lines starting from the left and corners.



















Step 9:
Connect the two lines you just drew.



















Step 10:
Draw more lines from the corners of the letter.  Draw the lines in about the same direction (Southwest).



















Step 11:
Fill in the spaces.



















Step 12:
Sit back and admire your work!



















In honor of the recent holiday, try to create a few other letters and connect them together -- take a look!


Write on!

Mrs. B
