Learning to draw enhances your communication skills using the visual language of art, creating dynamic teachers. Develop your cognitive skills, improve your self-confidence and learn how to teach your new drawing skills to children in simple fun ways, every day.

Objectives:

  • Explore how to see with an artist’s eye.
  • Understand how basic geometric shapes govern our understanding of what we see.
  • Discover how light sourcing influences what we see and how light wraps form.
  • Appreciate how our emotional state is affected by our environment and expressed in our art.

*Suitable for parents, students, adult instructors/administrators, novice, intermediate and experienced early learning child care professionals working with children of any age from infant/toddler, preschool to school age children, including children with extra support needs.
