I love doing direct drawing lessons with my kindergarten students! We usually start with white boards and expo markers so we may easily erase mistakes. We share our art in our hallway museum for all to enjoy. The objectives are many. Following two and three step directions, attending to the speaker, focusing on listening skills, working with positional words, and noting our artistic capabilities in all of us make these lessons so beneficial! Thank you for sharing your lessons!

I really do love this idea you have shared with the rest of us. Sometimes, it’s the simplest of ideas which really do make a difference and helps build confidence in kids.
