This week’s post is a SUPER fun and easy art lesson/activity that you can do with students of any age group from K onwards. This is ART for Kids Hub!
I have known about and used these videos for YEARS. They consist of fantastic step-by-step instructions, with a dad teaching and explaining the steps of how to draw something to one of his kids who is sitting beside him. The directions are very simple and clear, and you get to watch both the dad and the kid draw each step. The videos are perfect for teaching a class because you can pause if your class needs time to catch up, and they are typically 10 minutes or less in length. There are so many different videos that you can find something that interests each student, even your pickiest/most challenging ones. Below, I have added two examples of things that I have drawn from watching ART for Kids Hub.

How To Draw A Funny Summer Dragon – YouTube
I chose this particular video as a demonstration because my mom is a teacher at an elementary school in my hometown, where the mascot is a dragon. Because of this, my mom collects dragons, which I think is really cute and I thought I’d add to it from afar.

How To Draw An Apple Pie For Thanksgiving (youtube.com)
Two years ago, I drew this for a teacher back home that I worked with. He was missing my baking, specifically my apple pies. After sending this to him, I could finally claim that I made him the apple pie he wanted.
I will also link the ART for Kids Hub website for you all to check out because it truly is wonderful! I hope you find inspiration to try out an art video for yourself! They are easy, fun, and perfect for all ages!

I’m off to draw another picture, and I hope you are too…
