Every line, every mark on a creation, tells a story. Drawing skills foster the language of art as an expressive medium for meaningful conversations through storytelling and self-reflection. Drawing skills expand on the multiple modes of communication where educators listen to and honour the incredible range of expressive languages children use to communicate. Learning to draw enhances an educator's communication skills, using the visual language of art to create dynamic teachers. Develop your cognitive skills, improve your self-confidence, and learn how to teach your new drawing skills to children in simple fun ways every day, with Kathleen Tonnesen.
