Directed Drawing

We do directed drawings at least once a week.  A directed drawing is a step-by-step approach to drawing something: I draw one part at a time - such as a circle or oval - and then the students draw it.  We make it fun, they try to guess what we're drawing, and they get practice at following directions and working on fine motor skills.

A suggestion for directed drawing activities at home:

Mo Willems is an author and illustrator, and has many books out such as 'Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!'  (one of the books I provided a link to yesterday!).

He is putting out a daily tutorial video on drawing and doodling.  They are meant for children, but can be fun for everyone!

You can find all the 'Lunch Doodles with Mo Willems!' HERE.

HERE is a link to step-by-step instructions for drawing the Pigeon from yesterday's book.  It in you will practice drawing shapes, lines, and letters - enjoy!
