Recently, windmills can be found in few places. Most children have never seen them. It’s necessary to tell the child about our grandparents who used to take there flour for pies and bread. Windmill is a special mechanism that performs its work thanks to the wind, driven by the wings of the mill. For a long time, they were the only machines that were used not only for grinding flour but also for processing materials, as a pumping or water-lifting station. Today, such a mechanism is used for wind power stations.
The child will better remember the information if it comes with a visual accompaniment. We offer you to draw a mill together with a child and tell him or her about it in the process of drawing.
The shape of the tower
It looks like a cone. Draw it using the oblique lines.
Lower part
Since the mill is a round tower, draw a semicircular lower line.
Upper part
The tower narrows to the top. Draw its form by using a semicircular line.
Roof
We’ll get a cylinder cut at the top. Add the dome-shaped roof at the top.
Wings
The “classic” windmill had, as a rule, 4 elongated quadrangular wings. There were 2 wings on one axis.
They looked like a grid which helped to direct the wind energy.
Use the same technique to draw another 2 wings.
Correct
Erase all unnecessary details. Draw the necessary details.
Door
The front door is in the form of an arch. It’s in the center.
Through it, you can clearly see the back wall of the tower. Add a line to make it look realistic.
Coloring
If you draw it together with a child, we recommend you to color it with bright colors.
