Art Expectations & Protocols


How do I know my drawing is done?

  • Use three or more colors*
  • Fill the paper
  • Show details
  • Show the background and the ground/what it is sitting on
  • If outside, show the time of day and the weather
  • If you make a mistake, first try to draw over it or turn it into something else. Next turn the paper over or get a new paper. Never crumple the mistake--just set it aside.
* If using pencil, use light, medium & dark shading
