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!

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