Art Encounters - Early Childhood Drawing, Professional Development


teachers at the ECC working with materials that their students will be using for drawing.


On October 17, 2012 I prepared a professional development experience for the teachers at our Early Childhood Campus. The topic was stages of drawing in young children. There are studied stages of development that children go through in their mark making and drawing life. We reviewed the stages of drawing that children pass through as they grow. We looked at photographs of some of our own students at work and observed where they are in their drawing life.  We shared experiences of our teaching practices with children and their drawing. For a fully hands on experience I brought drawing materials; Black paper, white conte crayon & chalk pastel, black ebony pencils and colored chalk pastel for teachers to try. It's alway great to work with materials that our students are going to experience.
