Sight Words, Draw Pictures

Sight Words, Draw Pictures and teachers Simone Shin and Arree Chung

Sight Words, Draw Pictures (SWDP) is one of our baseline courses for kids (K-2) at Creativity School. We have Simone Shin and Arree Chung, both award-winning children’s book illustrators, teaching the basics of drawing in SWDP to build foundations for our young budding artists.

SWDP is a fun and simple activity that helps our students with basic shapes, the alphabet, letter sounds, small hand skills; as well as develop life skills like independence, comprehension, and curiosity.

Let's start!

Materials

1 White sheet of paper
Pencil
Colored Pencil
Pen

For this activity, we’ll draw the bear (kuma), cat (neko), dog (inu), parrot (chilika), and garden (thota).

Step 2. Draw these basic shapes: a circle, a square, a triangle, a rectangle, a straight line, and a curved line.

Step 3. Draw animals and objects.

Draw rectangles for the legs and ovals for the feet.
Draw the face. Use circles for the eyes, triangles for the ears, a circle and straight line for the mouth and nose, and another straight line for the muzzle.
Make the body rounder using curved lines then draw zigzag lines around it for the fur.
Erase the connecting lines.
Draw claws on each foot for a roar-some finish!

b. Let’s draw a cuddly cat (neko)!

Draw an oval for the cat’s body. Overlap it with a smaller circle for the head.

Draw the face. Use two small circles with dots inside for the eyes. Use two triangles for the ears. Draw a small circle for the muzzle, an inverted triangle for the nose, and a curve for the mouth.

Connect the head to the body using curved lines. Draw a circle for the eye, and curved lines for the talons.
Add feather details.
Erase the connecting lines for a clean finish!
