Observational Drawing

Sometimes in the evenings after supper is cleaned up and little ones are bathed, we have a little down time. So, we have started using some of that time to do some observational drawing. Someone picks an object and we sit down together and draw. I draw along with them because it's more fun for all of us. If I were to just tell them to go draw, it would become an assignment rather than fun family time.

Here are some drawings from this week.

One day we drew Giuseppe's sippy cup

Cati's drawing

Cati then decided to draw on a pair of gloves

Matteo decided to draw in iPod :)

Tonight, Maria chose this angel for us to draw. Yikes!

 

 

Cati's angel - I love how her personality comes out in her drawings!

 

Maria's drawing - I was impressed!

Chiara decided to draw a butterfly and some other things

 

And Chiara drew this - I don't know what it's supposed to be :)

Even Elena comes to draw with us. She doesn't try to draw the object we're drawing, but she very intensely works on her paper for quite a while.
