Methodology

Baby Lion drawing, drawn by a 3 year old
Drawn by 3 year old

Kindred Art students learn to perceive what they want to draw in terms of five basic elements of shape, and to develop the skills they need to translate that information onto paper.

The method involves helping students “see” what they are drawing. Students will be able to look at a picture or object and understand what they are looking at and how to draw it.

In this drawing the child was able to understand the elements of shape.

  • Circle for the eyes
  • Dots for the pupil and nose
  • Angle lines for the mane
  • Curved lines for the head
  • Straight lines for the whiskers
