Drawing Activities
This week the homework will center on drawing activities.
The activities are appropriate for K-3, except as noted. Feel free to
copy, cut and paste the assignments into your own word processor for sending
home (or print this page).
Day 1
Choose one member of your family to draw. Have them pose in a position which is a favorite of the subject (sitting, running, etc.) Draw that person as best you can.
Day 2
Select one object in the house that has more than 3 colors. Draw and color the object, but alter the colors from the real ones.
Day 3
Make a list of all the words you can think of that relate to drawing. You should be able to think of twelve if you are k-1 and 25 if second or third grade.
Day 4
Find a book or illustration that teaches you how to draw. Bring it to school tomorrow ready to teach someone how to draw an object from the book.
