#007 Start With a Plan - Simple Shapes

Hi!

Today we will discuss making a plan, but I want to emphasize that there are always options in art. Each person is an individual and will want to make a plan that fits their personality and drawing style.

I want to remind our older students that you can select a more difficult subject to draw in order to challenge yourself with these drawing assignments. You might pick two or three objects and draw them in a group. 

I want to remind our younger students that your drawings are beautiful. Don't compare what you can do with my drawings or the drawings of others in your family. I love what you see. I love what you draw. We all draw differently and that's the beauty of art. I love the art that you create!

Enjoy Drawing!

HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER

Three types of plans

• line to identify the edge
• shapes to reposition easily
• marks to identity top, bottom, and side to side

Using the shape plan to ensure that all the effort put into your drawing will pay off.

Focus on the placement of the shapes to each other.
