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!

Unleash Kid's Inner Artist: Draw 15 Amazing Animals!

Join us on a fun adventure to create 15 incredible animals! This easy-to-follow guide uses simple shapes to break down each drawing into 7 manageable steps.

Here's what you'll get:

• Step-by-step instructions: We'll start with basic shapes and gradually add details, making drawing fun and achievable.
• 15 unique animals: Unleash kid's creativity with a variety of creatures, from cuddly cats to funny a happy rooster.
• Confidence boost: By the final step, kid'll be drawing and coloring the favorite animals independently, feeling proud of themself artistic skills!

Get ready to be surprised by what they can create!

This fabulous and engaging K-2 activity will gradually allow young learners to enjoy drawing and creating fantastic art pieces. Step-by-step instructions allow each student to create classroom materials drawings during whole group instruction or independent learning time. Students can then add vocabulary, sentences, or a short idea to describe their object. This fun and exciting activity grows as students grow throughout the year.

I create a practice art notebook for students where each piece gets glued into their book as they develop mastery. The added creative writing element means they learn to talk about art in a French too!

How to prepare this resource:

Make a copy of each page and distribute to students. You can arrange to have them all done in a booklet form or, as I do, I make copies at the beginning of the year and add pages to a ‘cahier d’art’ for students to work on at their own pace once we have done a few as a group.

Students love the independence of working on the art piece on their own and as language production develops, they even go back to their first drawings to add details and sentences to describe their work!

When to use this resource in the classroom:

These activities can be used from the first week of school. Following instructions, mastering step-by-step directions can start at any time during the school year. Students will love using these pages as their confidence grows as each step shows dotted line additions that add a version of what each step looks like.

As language develops during the year, students can add details, descriptions, or story starters to prompt creative writing.

I hope your students enjoy learning to draw these classroom materials!

Appropriate audience:

I use these posters in my French Immersion classroom with Grade 1 and Grade 2 students. I feel confident that they could be used for any grade from K-6

I would love to know how you are using this product in your classroom. Please feel free to contact me directly if you have anything to say about this resource. I love helping teachers as much as I can. A product review also is a great way of letting me know, and leaving a review earns you extra credit for more amazing TeachShare products!

What grade level:

I personally use these texts with Grade 1 and Grade 2 students in French Immersion. I feel confident that students from Kindergarten to Grade Three will find these most useful and teachers can come back to the texts with any students who may be experiencing challenges in their French reading skills. Core French teachers will be sure to add the resource to their repertoire for Grades 4 to 6 as they learn to read and write at the Junior level.

Qui peut se servir de cette ressource?

Need an awesome Art Unit? I have just the thing for you! This creative Observational Pumpkin Drawing was designed to be printed and displayed as examples while you teach. Use this Google Slide file to display these beautiful images one-by-one on a large screen. For this assignment, I placed several plastic pumpkins and gourds at each set of tables for students to look at and draw. Students practiced drawing/coloring pumpkins and gourds in their sketchbooks or on small paper first. Next, students started a Final Copy drawing of one observational pumpkin and one gourd on 11 x 17-inch paper (horizontal). Students used oil pastels and watercolor paint. Plan to do this unit during the fall, between Halloween and Thanksgiving. I hope you and your kiddos love this! Enjoy.
