The first experience children have with writing or drawing is usually as simple as using their fingers to draw scribble on steamy glass, or using a stick to draw a line in sand. When a very young child first learns to scribble with crayon on paper it is a powerful experience. Usually scribbles are random works of art. The first part of little lessons helps us teach children to be intentional with their scribble movements (up and down, side to side, etc.) 

Next, they will learn to make lines. Lines travel in one direction and also have a shape (straight curvy, zig zag, etc.). Drawing a line is more difficult since it requires coordinating many movements.

The skills children will learn in FACES AND FEELINGS are the building blocks of social development. Learning to recognize her parents’ faces and to interpret their expressions is vital to a young child. A smile for recognition, a frown for concern. Because faces hold great meaning for very young children, we think it is the first symbol they should learn to draw. She makes different expressions to show her own feelings and watches the response.

In Faces and Feelings children will learn how to draw a face and pay attention to the details that make an individual expression. FACES and FEELINGS will teach a child recognize, name and draw six specific feelings that they experience every day. They will keep a journal of their own feelings for 5 days. Recognizing and naming their own feelings are a useful skills for very young children, helps a child to communicate better with everyone around them and decreases frustration, helping everyone to be happier!

The skills your students will learn in SHAPES, COLORS & PATTERNS are the building blocks for drawing, reading and writing. Everything we look at is composed of shapes. Basic geometric shapes are universal.

When we draw a picture of a cat we use circles, triangles and lines.

Reading depends on the ability to recognize each different configuration of geometric shapes as letter. 

When we look at a word we see a pattern composed of letters: CAT

And whenever we see this pattern of letters C-A-T we know that it spells CAT

To all this information we add colors so that we can better describe this CAT.
