What is Drawing from Memory?

Drawing from memory means creating a picture of something you remember without looking at it. It helps you practice your imagination and observation skills!

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Think of What to Draw: Choose something you know well, like your favorite animal or a fun place you've visited.
2. Use Your Imagination: Close your eyes and picture it in your mind. Try to remember the colors, shapes, and any special details.
3. Grab Your Materials: Take a pencil and a blank sheet of white paper. Make sure you’re in a nice, quiet spot to focus.
4. Start Drawing: Begin by sketching the basic shapes. For example, if you’re drawing a cat, start with a circle for the head and ovals for the body.
5. Add Details: Once you have the basic shapes, start adding more details like the eyes, whiskers, and tail. Think about what makes your drawing unique.
6. Explain to Your Partner: After you finish your drawing, share it with a friend or a family member. Tell them what you drew, why you chose it, and describe the details you added.

Why is This Fun?

This activity is fun because it allows you to express your creativity! You don’t need to worry about being perfect; your drawing is a reflection of your imagination. Plus, explaining your drawing to someone else helps you practice your speaking and storytelling skills!
