- Hi.
- Hi.
- Today we are going to draw a beautiful plant and see the lines and shape they have.
- I like shapes.
- [Lia] You like shapes?
- I like shapes.
- Now let's see what we have to draw this plant.
We have the paper, the pencil and the special plant.
Yes?
Now let's look closely at the plant and see the lines and shapes.
Hmm, what did you notice?
- I noticed that it has a vine coming up where it drink water from, and the other one's bended.
- [Lia] This one is bended.
- Yeah, and there's a new one coming out.
- [Lia] And how is the other that is coming out, is big or small?
- It's small, the other one that's coming up too.
It's the smallest one that only has the vine, but when it starts like that one, means you can see the leaf.
- I love your words.
You say that they have the vine.
And this is smaller because it's new.
It's coming out.
Now, let's see.
You notice that this one is bended, so it's a curved line, right?
Okay, now I think I'm ready.
I'm gonna get my paper and pencil ready.
It's gonna be my turn, I'm gonna draw.
You're gonna help me and then it's gonna be your turn, okay?
- [Both Children] Okay.
- All right, so I'm going to put it on this side.
And let's see.
I'm going to look closely and look at the lines and shapes.
Okay, I noticed that the stem is curved.
I'm gonna start in here, gonna make it really big.
And it's curved, and it's going up.
So at the end of the stem, I see that this, this shape that is kind of like an oval and it's pointed.
Gonna draw like this and come back to the stem.
I'm going to do the other leaf.
It's coming close to the other one.
And it's curved, and it's kinda like an oval, but it's pointy at the end.
Ooh, I like this one.
I'm going to do the one that you see that is bended.
It's kind of going on this side.
And what shape is that?
- So you have to curve it.
- Curve it like this?
And I'm gonna do the other one that is behind the oval.
That is going all the way at the lips is pointy.
It's like a triangle at the end.
And I'm gonna see the new one that you see that is the smaller.
So I'm going to do like this, pointy and come back.
Should I do the pot or no?
- No.
Yes.
- So I'm going to draw like a curve.
Woo.
Are you ready to do yours?
- [All] Yes.
- I wonder what lines and shape you gonna use to make your own plant.
I like how you going carefully drawing the leaves.
Two lines for the stem, that's a good idea.
- The other one has a little, a lot more gray.
But this one has a little bit of white.
- Let's just do like that, so better.
- That's how much this one has, but this one has a little bit more.
- I made this one.
- Ah, you did the plate that is under the pot.
- No, I see a plate all way like that.
- [Lia] Yeah, look, amazing.
- This one's gonna curve like glass.
- Wow, you're making the soil?
Very important for a plant, right?
Very important, I like this.
You are making like a little mark up and down.
- Just making one more little plants.
- Jay, Jay?
- What?
- Look.
- Everybody's so concentrated doing their own plant.
You are putting more details that I'm putting on mine.
Really.
I think I need to do some white on the leaf.
Are we done, yes?
- No, no.
- [Lia] One more second?
One more second.
- Oh yes!
- Wow, those plants are amazing.
- I put the heart.
- What did you put inside?
- I put a heart.
- That is amazing.
Jay, what did you notice when you were drawing your plant?
- So I added a few hearts and I added a spiky thing over there.
'Cause that's a spiky plant, it's that fun too.
- So you used like a shapes or line to make the spiky?
- I used some triangle to make it spiky.
The spiky cones.
- Beautiful.
Now Ava, I noticed that you did some dot on your leaves.
And what shape did you use to make your plant?
- I put some dots on there, 'cause they're very pointy.
And I put some flower on the leaf.
- You add flowers on your plant, that is amazing.
I love flowers.
Beautiful.
[all applaud] You did awesome.
Now it's your turn to make your own drawing of a plant.
You can choose the plant in your home or you can go outside to look for one in nature.
Try drawing different kind of plants to find out all the lines and shape they have.
Have fun, Artists.
