To go along with our color theme this month I taught the kids how to draw a blue bird using a step by step instruction sheet. I teach the kids to draw one picture a month using this method. I love to show them how pictures are made up of shapes and details and that even when we all make the same picture they all have their own individuality and that they don' t have to be identical or perfect to be beautiful. I also think it is a great lesson on following directions and the kids generally tend to be very surprised how cute their pictures turn out which helps boost their confidence. Here are how our first pictures of the year turned out. I think our budding artists did pretty darn great!
