Drawing
Drawing is the foundation but it’s a lot about observations
When it comes to drawing we focus on learning how to see differently, looking for shapes, and understanding the form.
Sometimes we even draw with paint! It takes the pressure away from making that perfect line.
Even at a young age my students learn to see things from a different perspective and grow quickly.
Example of Goals:
- 3-6 y.o. learn how to use drawing tools and the main shapes we use to draw
- 7 – 11 y.o. really looking at the silhouette and understanding the contrast
- 12 – 16 y.o. drawing original work and finding areas that need improvement

Sketch Vs Drawing
We discuss the difference between sketching and creating a finished artwork.
This year some of my students are doing a weekly Sketchbook to have the constant motivation to draw in their free time.
