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.
