They will also discover that every time they draw, they get a little bit better. We started with landscapes and simple instructions. A green line along the bottom---draw a brown number 11 and add a green circle. Landscapes have lots of trees and trees are different! The children began to add details on their own (sun, clouds and apples).
On Friday, we drew a still life. We placed an orange, an apple and a vase with flower on the table (great idea from Mrs. U) We closed our eyes and then opened them. Did the fruit or flower move? No! They are STILL...
Simple directions---Draw a black line on the bottom (that's the table). An orange circle looks like an orange when we color it. What's next to the orange? An apple! Don't forget a stem! The number 11 makes a vase/rectangle when we connect the two numbers with a line. A small brown circle and the letter V create a sunflower!
