Drawing in three dimensions
An AR classroom game for Grade 4. Learners can aim with their hands at the camera or play by tapping the screen.
This set has 6 questions in an interactive multiple choice activity.

Sample questions
A few real prompts from the game to help you choose an activity for your class.
How do you draw something so it has volume?
- Use light and shade
- Use the brightest colours
- Draw with thick lines
Read the explanation
Use light and shade to show the lit and dark sides.
What is the vanishing point in a perspective drawing?
- The point where the light is brightest
- The point where parallel lines seem to meet
- Always the exact centre of every picture
Read the explanation
The point on the horizon where parallel lines appear to meet.
Why do railway lines look narrower in the distance?
- The far part of the track was built narrower
- Mist hides part of the track
- Distance makes far things look smaller
Read the explanation
Because distance makes far things look smaller - that is perspective.
Before you play
Game teaching guide
What children will practise
Practises drawing objects with volume and depth: light and shade, smooth tonal gradation on a sphere, cast shadows, the vanishing point in perspective, and light sketch lines. Fits indicator ศ 1.1 ป.4/2 on drawing with depth.
What's in the worksheet
6 questions, 3 options each - What is the vanishing point? (where parallel lines seem to meet) - Why do distant railway tracks look narrower? (distance makes far things look smaller) - What does a cast shadow do in a picture? (shows the light direction and that the object sits on the ground) - How do you make a sphere look round? (shade smoothly from light to dark)
How to use it in class
Play before a shading lesson, about 7 minutes, solo. For the railway question, project a photo of a long straight road or track and have children trace the edges to the vanishing point. For the cast shadow and sphere questions, shine a torch on a ball at the front. If a question goes badly, have children shade a five-step value scale straight away. Play it linked to the class and the scores go into the gradebook.
Common sticking points
- Railway tracks: the distractor "fog hides part of the track" sounds reasonable to children. Point out the tracks still narrow on a clear day. - Vanishing point: some pick "always the centre of the picture" because textbook examples often put it there. Show one placed off to the side. - Sphere: children who like bold outlines may choose "draw a thick outline".
