Drawing Curriculum 41 Lessons
Drawing independently is the goal.
The curriculum goal is NOT to teach children to copy art. The goal is to demonstrate how to draw using elements and principles of design. And to practice these lessons in sequential order.
Because when students practice the physical fine motor movements, they will acquire spatial understanding. And build memory of these movements. And gain elemental concepts as they develop art literacy.
So once children work through all the lessons, they will be able to make the movements independently. They will acquire the building blocks of how drawings start and end. So they can draw from their own imagination and skill.
Painting & Drawing Curriculum
How do I know what grade to choose?
It doesn’t matter if the student is in early childhood or upper elementary—all children should start with these key lessons. This curriculum starts with very basic beginner-level lessons in a unique order. So to develop foundational drawing skill sets. These lessons are in small, digestible parts, building one skill onto the next in a sequential order.
The curriculum starts with learning line concepts. Then progresses into realistic, three-dimensional drawing. It does not matter what age the student is—from 4 years to adulthood. Every artist should start from lesson one. Early childhood learners can generally understand the first 16 lessons.
Any child over the age of 7 can move to the other lessons because their fine motor abilities and visual perception are further developed. That is why you see two offerings of an early childhood version with 16 lessons. And an offering for older students with 41 lessons. If you will use this curriculum to teach students over the age of 6, then I recommend the elementary drawing curriculum.
