“Feely Drawings” or Drawing by Touch – a 5 minute drawing exercise

This short icebreaker or warm up exercise, led by Paula Briggs at the Drawing Workshops for ages 6 to 10, encourages the children to relax into their drawing session. In particular we wanted the children to become aware of the different ways they can become familiar with their subject matter, in addition to using their sense of sight.
