Directed Drawing Videos

There are lots of reasons to try directed drawing with your students! Here are a few skills and benefits:

improved skills in following directions and attention to detail
practice fine motor development
increased stamina in focus and attention
increased self-expression and communicating ideas
growing skills in drawing and appreciation of art
perfect for celebrating seasonal content and decorate the class
an easy center activity to switch out each week
a fun activity to do at home! Send the link to parents and ask them to draw together, and write about their pictures!

Speaking of writing, students are often very motivated to write about their own pictures. We use pre-made templates pictured below in our writing centers all year. You can see more photos of 50 different drawing topics by clicking HERE.
