Drawing

Math

• The child practiced measurement by drawing objects to scale and using a ruler to measure the length and width of the drawings.
• The child applied addition and subtraction skills by counting the number of objects in their drawings and making calculations to add or remove elements.
• The child developed spatial awareness by sketching 3D objects and understanding their dimensions in relation to each other.

Continued development in drawing can be enhanced by exploring different art techniques and styles. Encourage the child to experiment with shading, perspective, and different mediums such as watercolors or charcoal.
