- Identifying the different family members
- Understanding basic human anatomy

Tips for continued development: Encourage the child to explore more complex compositions by adding additional details or backgrounds to the family drawing. Introduce different art techniques such as shading or using different drawing tools (e.g. colored pencils, markers, pastels) to enhance their artwork. Encourage the child to experiment with perspective by drawing the family members at different sizes or in different positions. Provide opportunities for the child to observe and draw from real-life or photographs to further strengthen their observation and representation skills.
