[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Artists learn by mimicking. Show her how you draw shapes. She can watch and mimic you and make it her own. [/quote] +1. I think it's important to work on because it will impact her ability to write, if it's not already. She doesn't need to be an artist, but having basic confidence with a pencil will help her in school. I draw with my similarly aged kid a lot and describe while I'm doing it. You model, she watches and eventually learns to follow. So a body is :"first a circle for the head, then the smiley face, then the hair, now here's the neck, and arm, and other arm, and body, and legs and feet", a sun is: "circle then line line line line line, all done! What do you want to draw next?" You do it a bunch of times, then ask if she wants to try. And keep it simple, then build. [/quote]
