Art

• They developed their observation skills by closely examining the photograph and recreating it in their drawing.
• The activity allowed them to practice their fine motor skills through the act of drawing.
• They gained an understanding of proportion by ensuring their drawing matched the size and scale of the given photograph.

They can also experiment with different perspectives and compositions in their drawings. Encourage them to observe and draw from real-life scenes or objects to further enhance their observational skills.
