- Observational skills were honed as the child captured details and proportions in their drawings.
- Using different drawing techniques, such as shading and hatching, allowed the child to explore texture and depth.
Encourage the child to experiment with different mediums and styles, such as pen and ink, charcoal, or watercolor, to further develop their skills and artistic expression. Visiting art museums and galleries can also inspire new ideas and appreciation for different art forms.
