Art For Children
We recently started art technique with my daughter and son. Using the text Drawing with Children we are attempting to
develop “realistic” approach to drawing. The text uses a method of recognizing basic shapes as building blocks to drawing all objects. As I read the text and went through the first chapter with the kids over a couple of sessions I reflected back on how I drew as a teenager. I didn’t receive training, but I think intuitively recognized these relationships and common shapes. Here’s a sample, for those that are interested, of what I used to draw over 10 years ago.
I think the sketches are self-explanatory. Needless to say I was a volleyball and Spawn fan at the time.

One, I’ve moved my blog to the address above. Two, if you’d like a little direction in formulating the lessons for DWC, check out Paulasarchives.com
Your sketches are great! I hope you’ll update about how it’s going with your dc.
We have DWC and I’ve put it off because I found that Artistic Pursuits is a little more like I wanted, Art history, appreciation and theory.
