This week, during our art skills lesson, we focused on developing our observational drawing skills with a particular emphasis on using tone to create depth and form. Taking advantage of the sunshine, we moved our lesson outdoors where the children took the opportunity to draw from real-life surroundings.
Working outside allowed the children to engage more closely with natural light, shadow and texture.
Help at Home: Encourage your child to notice light and shadows as well as different textures and patterns around them. Talking about what they can see will help build their observation skills.
