In light of the recent tragedy, we wanted to make the Notre Dame at Night lesson from the Sparkler’s Club available to everyone. We hope that this project will aid you in teaching your students about the Notre Dame Cathedral through art.
We are saddened by the loss of such a historical monument but are hopeful for the future and the restoration process.
Detailed instructions are in the PDF below for you to download.
Step 1: Create painted paper with the wet-on-wet watercolor technique.
Step 2: Draw Notre Dame (drawing guide and instructions in handout)
Step 3: Cut out your cathedral and paste it on a black piece of paper.

I was just there 3 weeks ago and would love to do this with my students to help them understand how awesome it is.

Patty, this warmed my heart! So very sweet of you to share this! I think it will be a great architecture drawing for the students. I was thinking to try marker print on foil or freezer paper for the color.
Glad you can use it with your students!

Love this! I have been collecting photographs for a cathedral series. This is wonderful and thank you for your timing.
great project, Thanks!
Lovely!
Thank you for the beautiful lesson! What a tribute!
I was happy to see this Notre Dame of Paris lesson available, as I am doing to tribute to the magnificent structure first quarter next school year. I do, however, think I will have students do the watercolor after drawing the cathedral. I do understand that doing the painting first frees students from focusing on the structure, but I am hoping that the structure will inspire students to imagine the beautiful lights that shine on the cathedral at night.
Wonderful! Thanks so much for this lesson that includes some real history!
this looks interesting!
