Let me introduce you to the fantastic world of directed drawing. The wonderful thing about this process is that you simply don’t should be inventive and even remotely artful so convey out your 64 depend pack of crayons and even dry erase markers. 

What’s directed drawing? Directed drawing is the method of drawing an image by educating and modeling utilizing a step-by-step strategy. This may be led by the speech-language pathologist, the coed, or you may even discover a tutorial on Youtube. On this exercise, the scholars are guided and directed by every step. They’re instructed the place and find out how to make the following mark or line of their image. 

Throughout this undertaking, everyone seems to be listening to the identical directions however all of the drawings are going to be totally different as soon as the scholars make it their very own. So, enable them to be impressed and discover. Directed drawing is a multisensory exercise that promotes mindfulness, confidence, and empowerment. It’s a process that calls for our college students’ consideration, making it partaking and pleasant. It prompts a couple of sensory system within the mind which offers our college students a number of methods to study and perceive info in addition to selling higher retention and quicker reminiscence recall (Shams, 2008).
