I wanted to share a free sample with you today, from my new Alphabet Directed Drawing file. Why do directed drawing? Directed drawing allows young students to feel successful on their journey learning to draw and helps to motivate their writing. Often drawing can be a great first step to helping your students organize their ideas for writing. Ask them to draw first, and then write about their drawing! Here is the page for 'a' - it features an ant and step-by-step illustrations to help your little ones learn to draw. You can download this one page free sample here from Google Drive. Alphabet Directed Drawing There are 26 different directed drawings in this file, one for each single beginning letter sound. The projects are: a - ant b - bear (teddy) c - car d - dog e - engine f - fox g - gate h - house i - insect j - jellyfish k - kitten l - ladybug m - mouse n - nest o - octopus p - pig q - quail r - robot s - spider t - turtle u - umbrella v - vase of violets w - watermelon x - ox y - yak z - zebra Thank you so much for stopping by, we hope your little ones love drawing their ant!

Here is an art lesson I did with my Year One class (first grade). We were only a few weeks into school and my students needed something relatively easy and straightforward. We were still learning classroom procedures and they were still getting to know me as their teacher. With these art projects, please keep in mind that I teach them for one day a week. I have just one hour to start, finish (and hopefully display) an artwork. This crab artwork complemented our unit of work on 'water' and another on 'animals'. For the art appreciation section of my lesson, we talked about warm colours and viewed an artwork on the IWB. To do an art discussion with young students I find it easy to direct their attention to something clearly observable in the artwork - colour, line, shape, texture etc - and ask them specific questions about it. This encourages them to begin thinking about artworks and other artists. We gradually through the year can begin talking about art in a more abstract way, as they get used to talking and sharing. Here are the steps I drew for the directed drawing: And if you would like to see my program page for this lesson, find it at Google Drive HERE
