During the free work class, the girls from my group sit together at each other's table. Press chatting with each other they make a drawing. Hearts and rainbows. But yes, because that's how every free worklesson goes and I can admire their drawings on their hearts and rainbows every time, that made me think.

So my question to them in the circle was: “Why do you so much like to draw rainbows and hearts?” Well... stupid question from the teacher, because hearts and rainbows are beautiful. They have beautiful colors and drawing hearts means you love someone. I agreed that and said that I also love rainbows and hearts, but that I also love flowers, animals, castles and children. Why don't you ever sign that? Now the group's answer was clear: “yes but we can not”.

I said peek at the neighbors! Go see how others do that! When others make a drawing, they first make a plan. What do I want to sign? What exactly does it look like? What do I need? How do I start?
A good example is drawing step by step, because then you can see how another step by step makes the drawing. I showed them some examples and invited the children to give them a try.

It was a success! The boat of Saint was drawn, Saint Nicholas himself, castles, even the horse of Saint Nicholas. Above my expectation, everyone gave it their own twist. Sylvie busy with her horse drawing, said: “I can also draw saint on top”!
The kids gave the boat packages and peers. The castles more towers and flags, ect.
And proud that they were!!!!

On pinterest you will find many examples of step-by-step drawing. I printed and laminated a lot from there for the ki. So there's plenty of choice now.
In the attached photos you can see some examples. They come from:
artprojectsforkids.org
how-to-draw-funny-cartoons.com

But you should also look for yourself!

Children who are ahead of their development can also be instructed to make a step by step drawing for another (analyze).

The book: I learn to draw is highly recommended.
