Proportional DRAWING PROJECT
Goal: You will select a comic strip or artistic picture and proportionally enlarge it to best fit
an 8 ½ “ x 11” copy sheet of paper.
Include in your project:
1. Original picture & enlarged picture in a clear plastic sleeve
2. Proportional Drawing Project Measurements
3. Proportional Drawing Project Rubric
Illustration:
Step 1: Measure the “height” and width of the comic/picture in cm. (Remember the “height”
is your vertical or y-axis and your width is your horizontal or x-axis)
Height = __________
Width = ____________
Step 2: Draw a 4 x 4 grid using 16 “equal and precise” blocks proportional to the original
measurements. (Prove your measurements are proportional)
Height = __________ ÷ 4 = _________
Proportional Measurements:
Width= ____________ ÷ 4 = _________
H________
W
=
________
Width=_____
Height=_____
Measure your paper
using a centimeter ruler Height=_____
according to your
proportional measurements
to create your 4 x 4 grid overlay.
Width=_____

Step 4: Draw a 4 x 4 grid using 16 “equal and precise” blocks proportional to the enlarged
measurements. (Prove your measurements are proportional)
Height = __________ ÷ 4 = _________

Step 4: Prove all measurements proportional.
 Find the ratio of heights and widths (Round to the nearest hundredth).

Step 5: Reconstruct drawing and color accordingly.
 Leave all extra border at the bottom of your picture.
 My border is at the bottom of my Height/Width. (Circle)
 Paper Height/Width (_____) – Enlarged Height/Width (_____) = ________
Lightly erase your grid marks on your final product before submitting the project! Higher scores
will reflect a near-perfect representation of the smaller comic/picture with accurate
proportional measurements. Colors, shading, and drawing should look identical!
