Everyone can improve their drawing skills with Echo Drawing! Drawing is a vital skill in today’s world. Learning to draw helps us become more effective visual communicators at home, at school, and at work. Drawing well does not require having natural talent or artistic ability.… anyone can learn to draw! Drawing is all about looking carefully at things and seeing the relationships between lines and shapes, and gradations of light and dark. We call this "learning to see like an artist". "Echo Drawing" is a name I came up with to describe the “Duplication Exercise" first presented by Mona Brooks in her classic books “Drawing with Children” and “Drawing with Older Children and Teens”. These exercises help to develop observation skills and the ability to translate what we see onto paper. With the help of Echo Drawing, anyone can learn to "see like an artist". Through copying a series of designs from simple to complex, students will begin to see visual details and relationships they previously hadn’t noticed. In the process, they will learn to more carefully observe the world all around them. Included in this 12-page pdf: 1 page explaining why drawing is important and how copying can help us learn. 1 page filled with tips for completing these exercises plus strategies for seeing and drawing. 8 pages of hand-drawn Echo Drawing exercises: 15 exercises per page (2 pages each of levels 1, 2, 3, & 4, with each level increasing in difficulty). 120 unique exercises in all! 1 page of blank Echo Drawing boxes for students to create their own designs to exchange with friends. 1 page of blank Echo Drawing boxes for teachers to create designs for their students, at whatever level their students need. My Echo Drawing exercises are arranged vertically, for easy use by both right and left-handed students. With the box for drawing in placed below the box to be copied, students can easily see the design they’re copying no matter which hand they draw with. These pages may be photocopied for students to draw directly on them. Afterward, students might enjoy coloring them with colored pencils or fine tip markers. You could extend their learning by having them choose a specific color scheme like analogous or complementary colors to color with. Another option would be to laminate the pages or place them in a sheet protector for use with wet or dry erase markers, to be used over and over. (Note: The more detailed designs are best drawn with a sharp pencil or mechanical pencil.) Like anything worth learning, the skills of careful observation and eye-hand coordination improve with practice. With Echo Drawing, students will be motivated to practice these skills and they’ll be asking for more! In addition to the eight practice pages included, you’ll also find a page of blank boxes for teachers to use to create more exercises for their students at whatever level they want. There’s also a page of blank boxes just for students to create their own designs to exchange with their friends! Echo Drawing makes a great stand-alone drawing lesson or drawing warm-up activity. It's also a fun project for students to pull out when they finish other work or just need a “brain break". Plus, it makes a handy emergency sub plan since there's no prep involved - just print and go! No matter how you use it, "Intro to Echo Drawing" is sure to keep students engaged for the entire class period and beyond! TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID... ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ "Excellent warm up before art, for bell work focus or for fast finishers. My students loved these ( would sometimes cut them apart and just give them part of one page) and really challenged themselves. Excellent resource!! Many thanks." - Susan K. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ "The students were very engaged with this activity. I was pleasantly surprised to see the pride and perseverance of my students with this activity. It was a great way to discuss how artist use lines and curves to represent things and also practice observation skills." - Karen R. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ "This is a very in depth resource... I love how it starts out easy, then gradually becomes more difficult. The most difficult pages are very challenging for my strongest artists. There is really something for every level. I have used this in class myself, and also as sub plans when I knew I would be gone for a couple days." - Jen J. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ "This was an amazing find last spring! I piloted it with my 2nd graders and they loved it and kept begging for more! This year I use it in my art room as a warm up activity when they arrive in my room. All grades, 1-5, enjoy this activity!" - Judy G. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ "My students LOVE these worksheets! I teach elementary art and I give these to students if they finish their project early. They are always excited to try the next "level" echo worksheet. Definitely worth the purchase!

Impermanence is not something to be afraid of. It’s the evolution, a never-ending horizon. — Deepak Chopra The Impermanence Quilt design, a Eudaimonia Studio original, is a reminder that everything—both good and bad—is temporary and symbolizes the importance of gratitude and letting go.
So last week was standardized testing. I needed something to work on for Friday but not super strenuous. Pythagorean Theorem! Perfect! I got some quick notes together then decided I'd like something fun for the assignment. Enter the genius of Andy Lutwyche. And I do mean genius! I love finding assignments that add just a little something different to a pretty standard concept. Enter Mr. Lutwyche's Dinky King... How fun is this?!?! You may download his version here for FREE!!! It was perfect and pure genius for an 80's nostalgia girl like me... who also happened to have a Mario costume... that she has not worn for school... yet. Genius. Thank you Mr. Lutwyche for sharing and allowing me to use Dinky King. Thank you for making something a little more engaging for our students. You may follow him on TES here and Twitter here. And of course Friday went like this.... Notes.... Mrs. Richardson... Dinky King and Murrio... It was super fun and the reactions to me dressed as Mario were hilarious. Made a few Snapchats and during the school emergency later that day, my students found me right away 😏😆😄😃. My classes will remember Pythagorean Theorem this year! Mr. Lutwyche's names had me cracking up and of course I emphasized them with the students. Due to the school-wide emergency, I didn't get to see a couple of my periods and knew they would be bummed out missing me dressed up in class- no one could miss me in the gym! I decided to continue with Mr. Lutwyche's inspiration and work the theme into an activity for Monday. This quickly escalated, as most of my planning does, and I ended up with 3 more activities with the 'Murrio' theme. And yes, I laughed every time I typed Murrio and changed a name. And yes, I'm easily entertained. My next lesson was over distance. I wrote some notes and created a WS where we measured the distance for 'Murrio' and 'Lequigi' had to hit the blocks. Just a different twist to some of the same old but necessary practice. Notes... Cutest. Worksheet. Ever. The number line example is actually a font so I could type in exactly what I wanted. You can download it free here. I could not wait to hand this assignment out!! #mathnerd. And the occasional chuckles from the class when they read Lequigi made the extra work worth it! I will do almost anything to engage my students in math. This meant they were reading the assignment!!! For my title and example font, Austie Bost Envelope, you may download it here for FREE. After this I couldn't stop and even did a 'Murrio' themed Pythagorean Theorem scavenger hunt which I will share later (need to do it in class before I get ahead of myself). You may download all my resources used above here for FREE. For any keys, please feel free to email me at [email protected] from your school or professional account. I've had students try and email for keys in the past but luckily their email said student! Thank you and please let me know if you see any issues with links or corrections on anything! And thank you again to my new educational friend, Mr. Lutwyche. I hope that your inspiration causes me more hours of work and my students more engagement. Enjoy, Lisa
