Draw and colour a natural object in the landscape you place it in.
What will my children learn?
During this lesson your children will –
Learn how to slow down and study the intricate lines, curves, and textures of the shell – looking at the natural geometry and subtle design.
Make decisions on what to include in their background drawings, and show a basic understanding of foreground, middle ground, and background sizing.
Explore how the background supports the object – whether it’s sand, sea, a table, or a garden – and how this shapes the mood of the picture.
Gain confidence in handling different materials when deciding what media to use to add colour to their picture.
Develop fine motor control and hand-eye coordination when drawing and colouring.
