丙烯颜料用途广泛、趣味十足,但对学生而言可能略显 intimidating。我特别钟爱这堂抽象建筑绘画课,因为它简化了绘画概念,同时赋予学生充分自由去进行创意表达。我对色彩选择与肌理表现不设任何限制,“顺其自然”的教学态度令(大多数!)学生倍感轻松。
你是否也像我一样注意力持续时间较短?这段视频将快速呈现每个步骤。

我们从一大张廉价的水彩纸开始,当然也可选用画布或任何厚纸板——#公立学校预算。我让学生挑选三种颜色,这些颜色需彼此协调,并可呼应他们所受启发的国家或世界某地。我不允许使用黑色或白色,因为这两种颜色将专门用于建筑造型设计。你完全可以在画布、硬质画板甚至纸板上作画——丙烯颜料真的非常百搭!

一个有趣的构图挑战是:让学生禁用画笔作画。他们可用硬纸板边角料、纸巾、印章工具,甚至徒手创作!实用型画笔与泡沫工艺刷也十分好用。总之,只要不是那种极细的细节画笔即可。










待背景干透后,学生开始搜集自己心仪之地的建筑与楼宇图像资料。许多人选择梦想旅行目的地或家乡;部分学生有旅行经历,但多数没有。我鼓励建立个人联结——哪怕仅是向往前往某地。
我们以城市或国家名称加“矢量线稿”为关键词进行搜索。例如,输入“威尼斯 矢量线稿”,便会跳出大量图片。也可尝试搜索“威尼斯 建筑剪贴画 黑白”,虽稍显冗长,但效果同样理想。主流城市通常资源丰富。曾有一名学生受其祖父成长的美国得克萨斯州某小镇启发,她需更富创意地调整关键词,最终借助一些泛化的西部风格老式建筑图像达成了目标。
我让学生使用这份文档草拟构思。在白纸上推敲方案,既直观又便于修改。缩略草图对激发创意、确定构图尤为有效。我提醒学生:本课属抽象艺术创作,画面中的建筑与设计元素应如拼贴般组合;我们并不关注准确的透视关系或建筑角度。有些学生倾向直接排列一排建筑,此时我需鼓励他们采用重叠、堆叠及大小混搭等更具抽象意味的方式。

以这些草图为蓝图,学生再用铅笔在已干透的背景上起稿。


部分学生对此概念理解困难,但多数人欣喜于无需遵循透视法则——尤其此前我们刚完成强调空间深度与透视规则的印度墨水风景画创作!

在丙烯底色上辨识铅笔线条颇具挑战,但并非不可能。我提醒学生将纸张举至光源前并变换观察角度。此阶段正是“思考”集中发生之时。一旦所有轮廓勾勒完毕,后续覆盖涂绘便轻松许多。
学生完成铅笔起稿后,即以黑色丙烯颜料勾勒轮廓。我们共同探讨并练习线条变化,学生须为其所绘每条铅笔线描出轮廓。我推荐使用黑色,但学生亦可选用白色、银色、灰色或亮红色等。此色将成为画面主色调,因此我鼓励他们思考:何种色彩最能代表其所属城市,或能在繁复背景中占据主导地位?






此环节需耗时两至三节课,随后进入高光与点缀色环节。我极为推崇金属银色作为高光色——它能融入任意配色方案,又不像纯白那般强势。任何金属色、白色或浅色调颜料皆宜用于提亮,使建筑局部脱颖而出。学生可依自身目标侧重线条或形状表现。填涂区域则能形成强烈视觉焦点,因其遮蔽了部分背景。
添加浅色高光后,学生可自由添加任意数量的点缀色。我建议选取一种与背景形成对比的色彩,再搭配一种与之互补或对比的色彩。










最终完成的抽象建筑绘画作品,永远是建筑形态与丰富肌理的美妙融合!

Acrylic paint is so versatile and fun to work with, but can be intimidating for students. I love this abstract architecture painting because it simplifies painting concepts and allows for students to be free with their creative choices. I give no limit on color or texture application and the “let what happens, happen” attitude is freeing for (most!) students.
Do you have a short attention span like me? This video will give you a quick snapshot of each step.
This video will walk you through my steps and is classroom and Canvas ready!

We start with a large piece of inexpensive watercolor paper, but you could use a canvas or any thick paper #publicschoolbudget. I tell students to pick three colors. These colors should work together as a group and can also connect to the country or part of the world they are inspired by. I don’t let them use black or white because we will be using these colors in their architecture designs. You can do this on a canvas, canvas board, cardboard- acrylic paint is really versatile!

One fun design challenge is to let students use anything but a paint brush. They can use scraps of cardboard, paper towels, stamping tools- even their hands! Utility brushes and foam craft brushes work really well too. Basically anything that isn’t a tiny detail brush.


As backgrounds dry, students begin researching architecture and buildings from places that inspire them. Many choose places they wish to visit or their hometowns. Some have travel experience, but many do not. I encourage a personal connection, even if it is as simple as a place they’d love to go.
We search the name of the city or country and the words “vector sketch”. For example, I searched “Venice vector sketch” and tons of images popped up. You can also search “Venice buildings clipart black and white” although it is wordier. Most popular cities have plenty of options. I had one student that was inspired by a very small town in Texas where her Grandfather grew up. She had to be a bit more creative with her searches, but she got the idea across with some generic old fashioned Western style buildings.
I have students use this document to sketch out their ideas. It is so much easier to see their ideas and edit them on white paper. Thumbnail sketches are great for generating ideas and nailing down compositions. I remind students that this is an abstract artwork where the drawings are like a collage of buildings and design elements. We are NOT focusing on accurate perspective or architectural angles. Some students want to do just a straight line of buildings, and I have to encourage them to overlap, stack and mix up sizes in a more abstract way.

Using these sketches as a road map, we then sketch with pencil on top of our dry backgrounds.

Some students really struggle with this concept, but most love that there are no perspective rules. Especially since we just finished our India Ink Landscape artwork that was all about depth and rules of perspective!

It is challenging, but not impossible, to see pencil lines over acrylic paint. I remind them to hold their paper up to the light and change the angle. All of the “thinking” is happening at this stage. Once everything is sketched out, it is way more relaxing to just paint over the lines.
After students sketch, we start by outlining with black acrylic. We discuss and practice line variety and students outline each line they drew in pencil. I recommend black, but students have used white, silver, gray, bright red etc. This is their dominant color, so I encourage them to think of a significant color for their city or that will be dominant over their busy backgrounds.

This takes a couple class periods, and then we move on to high lights and accents. I am a huge fan of metallic silver for highlights. It ties into every color scheme and isn’t quite as dominant as white. Any metallic, white or lighter color paint is great for creating pops of highlights. This helps certain areas of buildings stand out. Students can focus on line or shape, depending on their goals. Filling in areas creates great emphasis because it blocks out some of the background.
After they add a lighter highlight color, they can add any amount of accent colors they want. I recommend picking one color that contrasts the background and then one color that compliments or contrasts it.

The finished abstract architecture paintings are always a delightful mix of architecture and texture!
