Great Practice Ideas
- Set up some objects at home
(stuffed animals, toothbrush and tooth paste, cup and saucer?) 2 feet
away from you. Try to draw their
shapes as they overlap. Draw the
back edge of the table going behind them. Color the objects lightly with pencil
or crayon. Try to add some
shading to the side of each object that has less light on it. What details can you think of to add
on the objects or outside them?
- Find a magazine picture of a
large human or animal face or whole body. Choose one that has symmetry. Carefully cut it out. Cut it straight up the middle. Glue or tape one half on drawing
paper. Try to draw the missing half to match the taped half.
- Look at your face in a
mirror. Notice the football shape
of your eyes. Draw them sort of
in the center of your large oval-shaped face! Draw a circle in the middle of each
eye with a black ‘hole’ in the center of that. Work on drawing natural eyelashes, eye brow hairs. Let the line of the nose come from an
eyebrow down between the eyes leaving room for the mouth. Try to draw the upper and lower lips
about as wide as the center of the eyes.
This is how to draw ears the right size and location: as high as the eyes and as low as the
nose. The side of a healthy neck
will extend from the head about as wide as your ears. Make sure your shoulders are a good
bit wider than the head.
You will see improvement in your
drawing if you do these activities over again throughout the year.
Please don’t get discouraged. Share
your work with Mrs. Baltzell anytime.
