Fraction Figure: How to Draw a Proportioned Person

Artists need spacial intelligence to know how to convert the 3D world to a 2D surface. They need to know how scale, proportion, and linear perspective work. That's math.  This short video shows how to make a figure that is eight heads high.

Elementary or middle school students who can draw a figure to illustrate their fictional writing, developing a character, making a comic book etc. They can use it to study history and the show the type of clothing people wore during a given time and place. They can represent a specific historical figure. They can design a costume out of recycled garbage for their environmental science class. OR students can just learn this skill to be a better artist. Draw and be happy.
