Life drawing is the best way to get children to improve their observation and basic art skills. I usually set up 3 or 4 simple objects in the middle of the table and then explain to the children that they must copy what they see being very carful to draw things in proportion to each other, focus on 'size' of each object. Manouk who is a very gifted 5 year old drew a lovely piece which she then painted. After our drawing exercise we looked at famous artists like Van Gogh and had a go painting over a basic photocopy of his work Starry Night.
