Cityscape

My class was at library a week ago when I saw a student's book.  The cover was similar to an art project I have done in the past but different (click here to see!).  I knew I had to bring this to our Three Pigs unit of construction. 

 I love the purple background and multicolored windows.  

What you need:

Purple, black and assorted colored construction paper.  I prepared the paper by cutting the black paper into various sizes of rectangle for the skyscrapers.  I cut the colored paper into assorted sizes of squares and triangles. 

 STEP ONE:  Glue down the black rectangles onto the purple paper.

 Create a skyline.

 Fill the page to create the skyline.

 STEP TWO:  Add windows.  Add a few tops (just a couple - not too many!).

 STEP THREE:  With a crayon, add any desired details.

STEP FOUR:  Add touches of gold paint with a paint pen.
