Pearl Fryar Topiary Drawings

Pearl Fryar is an amazing South Carolina artist known for the topiary sculptures that he creates in his own yard! Students viewed and discussed images of Fryar's work and began by making several sketches of objects or people that would make an interesting topiary design such as a ballet dancer, a dolphin, a race car etc. Students chose their best sketch to draw on large green paper. Students were also instructed to add a horizon line and a couple of smaller topiary designs in the background to create depth and distance in their drawings.For color we used mostly green and brown crayons.
