HOW TO USE IT

Grid drawing is a classic technique artists use to copy or enlarge an image accurately by breaking it into sections. By focusing on one square at a time, students improve their precision, attention to detail and confidence.

Use the pages for homeschool drawing lessons, bell ringers and warm-ups, self-paced practice or a fast finisher grid drawing folder. Print and store a set in your sub tub for a no-prep lesson during emergency absences, photocopy templates for art centers, laminate the instruction pages for long-term use, or project them under a document camera for class demonstrations.
