K, 1st and 2nd grade Make Observation Drawings of Bicycles.

Look closely: what shapes do you see?
Where do you notice circles?
...Triangles?
...Other shapes?

How will you put all the shapes together to build a drawing of this bicycle?
Where do the shapes connect?
Where will you add details?

How will you make the shapes that you see stand out?
Will you use your imagination to add color?



Will you use your imagination to make up a background story for your bicycle?



Will you draw a person on your bicycle?

"I drew the front tire circle too flat, so I decided to make it into a flat tire.  The tack is in the tire."

"I drew the tires too flat, so I made them melting in hot lava."
