Art: Flowers

The only "rule" for this art project was that the children draw at least two different types of flowers.
Notice each child's pencil grip! I am a stickler for holding a writing utensil properly, even for the very young. It is better to form good habits now than try to break bad habits later! Children need to learn and practice the proper grip for any fine motor activity.

There are five stages to children's drawing/writing - random scribbles, controlled scribbles, lines and patterns, pictures of objects and people, and letter and word practice. 
All of our drawings were very different and that was one of the main goals of this project. 
One of the best ways to talk to kids about their art is to tell them what you see. 
"I see green and yellow and a LOT of red in your picture."
"I can see you are painting the center of your flower pink."
"I see a very TALL flower and some short flowers in your picture."
It is more important for a child to know that we see his picture than to hear that we like his picture.
