Drawing

Art

• The child learned about different drawing techniques such as shading, cross-hatching, and stippling.
• They learned about composition and how to create a visually balanced artwork.
• They explored the use of color and learned how to mix different hues to achieve desired shades.
• The child also learned about perspective and how to create an illusion of depth in their drawings.

For continued development, encourage the child to experiment with different drawing materials such as charcoal, pastels, or ink. They can also explore different styles of drawing, such as surrealism or abstract art, to expand their creative horizons. Additionally, they can practice drawing from observation by sketching everyday objects or scenes from their surroundings.
