Benefits of Directed Drawing

Fine Motor Skills: Directed drawing nurtures fine motor skills, essential for writing and other dexterous tasks. As students grasp and manipulate drawing tools, their hand-eye coordination and muscle control refine.
Creativity: Directed drawing sparks imagination and creativity. Students are encouraged to explore colors, shapes, and patterns - and to add their own unique touches to each creation!

Writing Foundations: Directed drawing lays the groundwork for writing and also improves handwriting skills. Students learn to follow visual instructions, recognize and manipulate shapes, and maintain consistent pencil strokes – all essential elements of handwriting!
