Gesture Drawing

Summary:

This is a wonderful mini lesson in which children will learn how to make gesture drawings.

Objectives:

Gesture drawing is quick and spontaneous. There is no time for doodling. The more you draw, the better you get.

What You Need:

• pencils or chalk or pastels
• paper
• a live model

What You Do:

Stand over your work.

Keep your eyes on the model – not on your work.

Draw what you see. If you make a mistake – IGNORE it! Work over it as if it weren’t there.

Draw every day.
