We now know that our children are always learning. If you are alive you are learning. It is what we all do best if given two things – encouragement and praise. If you are looking for drawing classes near me, know how the kids between 3-12 years would learn drawing.


The Artabet Technique


The Artabet is based on the fact that there are 6 universal lines that provide the building blocks for all the shapes in a drawing. This is a fundamental artistic principle and it is the best place to start your teaching.Practice them and master them by starting every drawing session with at least 3 to 5 minutes of drawing them.

If your child or student is between 1 and 3, then all you need to show them are the 6 lines of the Artabet. Do not try to show them ‘How to Draw’, just do the 6 lines of the Artabet until they can draw them. That is their drawing.Drawing is movement with lines – so learn the lines. As soon as they have a few down and can say the name as they draw it, you will be ready to draw one of the characters.


Six Universal Lines Of The Artabet


The 6 universal lines of the Artabet are the movements in line that enable you to teach and succeed at teaching young children to draw.Where did these 6 universal lines come from? Well, they have always been here much like 2 plus 2 has always been 4 and always will be. These are the elemental lines that describe everything we can possibly see in our Universe.


The 6 lines of artabet are: round and round, up and down, back and forth, zig zag, dot dot and wiggle and wiggle.


Conclusion


Start teaching drawing to your child with baby steps and then proceed gradually. There is nothing to rush.
