Drawing Spatial Relationships/Depth – February
These projects are meant to be fun, but educational. If for some reason the projects are too difficult, let your child explore space in an experimental way as they work through ideas and try new things. Sometimes it’s simply enough to create.
Don’t forget to decorate those paint shirts! Be sure to cover the table adequately before letting them decorate it because these markers are permanent fabric markers.
Supplies needed:
- 4 small (5×5″) squares of paper
- fine tip markers in the following colors: pink, blue, and orange
- a tee shirt (optional) if your markers are permanent or fabric markers
- a ruler (optional)
- table cover
Week 1: Simple Drawing of a Landscape
