It’s a Jolly, Holly, Holiday- The Importance of Free Draw
These may be a couple of months too late, but I couldn’t help but share these amazing
drawings done by my 8th graders.
Too often, some art teachers discourage and demote free drawing for the purposes of
completing a project or covering a SOL—but free drawing is VITAL in the art classroom.
Free drawn assignments allow teachers to glance at their students’ interests.
I had no idea of what my some of my 8th graders were capable of until after this assignment!
I was amazed by the versatility, creativity, and variety of these projects.
So once in a while, try letting your students take a breath of fresh art and free draw!
