Outside Drawing

Picking up a crayon and making marks on paper is often the very first art activity for young children. Drawing requires very little in the way of materials (simply a sheet of paper and a drawing tool), is easy and engaging for all ages and levels of ability, and is usually mess free. Drawing allows children to:

• EXPRESS themselves
• PROCESS their world
• EXPERIMENT with ideas and techniques
• MAKE ART anywhere
• INTERACT with others
• & develop FINE MOTOR SKILLS
