Drawing

Science

• The child learned about different colors and how they can be combined to create new colors.
• The child learned about the concept of light and shadows, as they observed how objects cast shadows when placed in front of a light source.
• The child learned about the different shapes and patterns found in nature, as they drew flowers, trees, and animals.
• The child learned about the concept of symmetry, as they attempted to create symmetrical drawings.

Encourage the child to explore different art techniques and mediums to further develop their drawing skills. They can experiment with watercolors, pastels, or even try their hand at digital art using a tablet or computer software. Additionally, they can practice drawing from observation by going on nature walks and sketching what they see in their surroundings. Encourage them to keep a sketchbook where they can document their progress and try out new ideas.
