When first introducing these worksheets, it is VERY important to model the process of drawing the objects for
students. Name the identifiable shapes as they are drawn. Emphasize the importance of following the steps in
sequence. Use position words such as “below, above, next to, etc.” during the process. Have students work with
you step by step. As they gain confidence and skill, they will be able to complete these independently.
NOTE: If you are copying these pages for students, be sure to print a colored example for
students to reference to help them focus in on the changes in each step.
The process of “directed drawing” is a fabulous activity for early learners, and is not just merely a way to
practice following directions. It is a great opportunity to practice spatial awareness, and reinforce shape
recognition. You can also practice using position words “below, above, next to, etc.” Finally, it builds self
confidence as students practice their small motor skills.
This method of teaching helps children to “break down what they see.” Studies have shown that the development of
perceptual and analytical skills increases critical thinking and problem solving. The experience will increase your
child’s ability to focus, listen, follow directions, concentrate, and analyze what he/she sees. The process will help
your child internalize shapes and successfully reproduce them. The Monart Method teaches “key thinking skills in visual
perception, visual-spatial organization, and visual attention to detail.” (Mona Brooks – Drawing with Children)
