WHY DIRECTED DRAWING?
There are many reasons to try directed drawing with your students! Here are a few skills and benefits:
- improve skills in following directions and attention to detail
- a fun way to 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!
ADD A WRITING COMPONENT
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.
