Draw a Section!
Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation | Sep 20, 2017
As part of the 150th birthday celebration, inspire your kids to dream big and think boldly, like Frank Lloyd Wright. Use this activity sheet to draw a section. Don’t be afraid to think outside the box!
Section drawings are a very important part of designing a building. They give us a more complete idea of what a building might look like when it is built. What do sections look like? A section looks like a building sliced in half, from top to bottom, to reveal the interior. These drawings allow us to look directly into the halved building and see the features inside.
To draw a section:
- Gather a few objects in your home that would be fun to draw.
- Picture what each object would look like if it were cut in half, and draw what you’re imagining. If you’re using food, like a fruit or vegetable, have an adult slice the object in half to help with your drawing.
- Look at your drawings. What did you learn about your object that you didn’t know before?

Follow the instructions on the sheet to submit your child’s creation. We will print a limited number of submissions in a future issue of the Frank Lloyd Wright Quarterly magazine and share some on our blog and social media.
