    WHY  DIRECTED DRAWING?

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

    • practice with following directions
    • practice close attention to detail
    • fine motor development
    • increased stamina in focus and attention
    • self-expression and communicating ideas
    • growing skills in drawing and appreciation of art
    • perfect for celebrating seasonal content and decorate the class
    • an easy writing center 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!

    ADD A WRITING COMPONENT

    Speaking of writing, students love to write about their own pictures!

    We use pre-made templates pictured below in our writing centers all year.  You can see more photos by clicking HERE.
