Grid Drawing







Grid drawings use the left and right side of hte brain.
Copying is okay, but tracing is cheating. Encourage students to copy images.

Using a grey lead, encourage students to focus on the lines rather than on trying to see an image.
Students should draw what they see, not what they think it should be.

Right brain- looking at the lines- long, short, curved and straight.
