In this session students will develop observational drawings of objects using a variety of mediums and drawing exercises. In order to establish such skills they first need to expand their proficiency in looking and seeing the world around them. The act of looking and drawing are inextricably connected, and by getting children to pay close attention to what they see, we can enable them to draw. It’s not about how good they are at drawing, it’s about how well they see and look. Warm-up and Introduction: 15 mins
Blind Contour Drawing → see book 1, p.20

Development: 40 minutes
Continuous Line drawings:
- Explain to students that they can now look at their drawing but continuing to look carefully at their object.
- Students tend to spend more time looking at their drawing so keep reminding them to continue looking at their subject matter. - Before starting inform children how long they can spend on their drawing. This time suggest 10 minutes.
- Encourage children to take their time and really look. Remind children that this exercise is still about looking and not about the finished drawing. This skill will get easier and advance with more practice.
- Invite students to share their experiences with both blind drawing and continuous line drawing.
