Lesson Plan
In A Unique Drawing Experience from KinderArt, the teacher reads a set of instructions as students draw with markers. There are separate instructions for younger and older students. When complete, all students have a different artistic representation that is based on the same set of directions. After using KinderArt's instructions, try creating some drawing directions of your own!
A fun complementary activity to this drawing experience is Blind Contour Drawing, another KinderArt lesson. In it, students choose an object to draw with pencil. Once they have begun to draw, they are not permitted to look at their hand as they work, thus the "blind" contour drawing!
Assessment
Reread the instructions, and have the students check their own work to be sure they can identify how they followed each step of the directions.
