Many children want to know how to draw. Some children become frustrated when their drawings do not look like what they think they should look like. Sometimes children ask adults to draw pictures for them, because they are unsure as to how to begin. At Crocus Academy, we teach children how to draw with purpose by breaking down objects into shapes. One of our favorite activities is to put vegetables on the table, and let the children take turns picking up the vegetables to really look at each one. Then the children can draw what they see.
In the picture below, the children looked at corn, carrots, cucumbers, onions, etc. Each child drew the vegetables on their page, and they have included some of the texture of the vegetables, like the lines on the carrots. These children left this project with more confidence in drawing, not only vegetables, but anything they see!
