Rise during first 100 years. 313 CE, Emperor Constantine ruled that Christianity was

Step #1 Find an image of a medieval building in color

that you would like to draw that includes some landscape around it. Years 500 to 1500 AD.

Find a color image of a small bird on a branch or other object that interests you that you could put into the foreground of your architectural picture (ex. sparrow, swallow, blue jay, cardinal, or oriole).

We will use the grid method to draw the building and bird. (Draw your grid very light!)
