Let’s Draw
1 Follow-Along Video
Now it’s time to put creativity into practice! In this instructional, step-by-step guided video, students follow along and draw one line, shape, and detail at a time. We get to recreate the artist’s masterpiece together. Students learn crucial skills, techniques, vocabulary, and composition as they develop confidence in their creative abilities.
Let’s Color

In this segment, students are introduced to art material techniques. Color your masterpiece with Laurie (GAP’s founder), and learn to blend colors and add shadows, depth, texture, and interest. Students learn about color theory, value, and a variety of materials as they color in their masterpiece. In our “Let’s Color” section, students are invited to add their own flair to their art.
Let’s Review

We’re almost done! Before students finish, they will review the concepts and skills learned in the lesson using a downloadable PDF. Students are encouraged to analyze their art, add finishing touches, and make it their own. The entire lesson, including the four video segments and the PDF, should take approximately one hour to complete for first graders, one and a half hours for second– to third–grade students, and two hours for fourth– to sixth–grade students.
