Seeing Like an Artist

The First Step of Drawing is Seeing!

4th graders practiced seeing like an artist!  To see like an artist, you need to look closely, notice new things, and make observations.  If you want to draw something, this is the first step!    After making observations of objects, 4th graders practiced many different drawing styles, all while seeing like an artist.


Can you find the gesture drawings?
(gesture drawings are done quickly, often are shapes, and show movement)

Can you find the contour drawings?
(contour drawings are slow and detailed, they show the lines of a subject or object)




Can you find the blind contour drawings?
(blind contour drawings are drawings completed without looking at the paper)





We completed our "seeing like an artist" study with practicing drawing emotions!
