3 Ways to Help Children Draw Big
Have you ever had a student draw an image so small that they can’t even fit the paint inside when they finish? Chances are, if you teach art to students, you’ve likely struggled with students who draw microscopic images on their paper. But how do you encourage students to begin to draw big enough to fill their paper?
I’m going to share with you three strategies that worked in my classroom to help students to draw large and make use of their entire paper.

Outstanding very detailed video. I'm a daddy trying to help his 4yo draw and I had no idea where to start. These tips are genius. Thank you so very much.

[@dynacambri4990]

Me too. 4 yr old, same position

[@Larimuss]

Same my daughter is 4 and loves to draw and paint but she struggles to learn.

[@audreymacmillan1140]

Yes, I would like a video about using templates. And, thank you for the above lesson!

[@gretchenscott9357]

Wonderful tips!! I love this. I also teach children to use their hand (flat, fist or fingers) as a 'template' and a measuring tool in order to 'estimate' what type of shapes are big enough or too small before they begin.

[@emilymillar3445]

Thank you!!! 🎨❤

[@MariaMilenovasArt]

Very useful & great tips!!

[@karlatby]

[@tapcheserge2025]

I love this thanks very much

[@imanscorner7572]

Thank you so much for this. I'll actually be using this with my high school students.

[@lieselwesselsart]

Great Tips Thank you 🎉

[@MKreatives]

Really enjoyed the tips! I use oil pastels and crayons for the same reasons. Thank you 😊

[@meeranarula1375]

Hi from India, love love love the clarity and simplicity with which you explain, you are awesome!!!

[@Tribal3Angel]

Thank you

[@RG-rk1cb]

Wonderful tips! I am going to try it out tomorrow with my child. When teaching a kindergartner is it a good idea to show completed piece of artwork we are creating and start the lesson or just do along with them ? What do you recommend for a beginner student and beginner art teacher

[@heidireiter1046]

I enjoyed your video. I would like to see a video about how you use the templates. Thank you so much!

[@NatalieTempleton-sb3uo]

Yes, Please make a video about templates if you haven't already!!

[@Larimuss]

Damn that artwork behind you looks better than a lot of the million dollar stupid artwork out there now days. It’s amazing the artwork kids do which is so creative.

[@art4theheart436]

As always, loved your video! I know many of my students are quite concerned about having their drawing look "just right" , and would want an eraser and pencil since they depend on it for revisions. How do you overcome this mindset?

[@DeepSpaceSparkle]

Remind them that they can paint over mistakes! Thats the beauty of mixed media. You can teach them about what an underdrawing is, and how artists use that practice to paint something better on top 🙂

[@bhamavemuru4076]

HI Patty, love your art for kids! thank you. I'd love to download your handout for this lesson, but the links are not responding on your page. any idea what might be happening? thank you.

[@maisoonmoaaz7019]

I LOVE these tips
My 5 yr old niece just got into drawing and I want to encourage her but I don't know how to guide her i don't want her to just copy a step by step tutorial
Do you have a video on this ?

[@betsymitten3670]

I'd love to see a video about using templates.

[@DeepSpaceSparkle]

Thanks for watching Betsy! We'll jot that one down for the future :)

[@bernardettecummings8277]

Do you have any lessons on landscape drawing techniques for kids? My students are creating a garden, and I need to teach how to create landscape drawing.

[@DeepSpaceSparkle]
