Drawing can be intimidating because we often think that our drawings need to be perfect or realistic to be considered “good” or worth the time, but this is simply not true. In this video, we will go over a variety of exercises that help train your eyes to see more carefully, boost your creativity, and improve your eye-hand coordination. These drawings will not turn out the way you expect, but they will be fun and interesting! Please see below the list of materials and tools needed for this project.
- Any kind of paper
- Any kind of drawing utensils (preferably not erasable). Examples: pens, markers, crayons, colored pencils
- Mirror
- Objects to draw (key ring, cup of pens, dinosaur figurines, plants)
- Optional: partner for blind contours
