Gingerbread Man Art Project

Help your learners create a bright happy picture after reading The Gingerbread Man with the step by step drawing directions we provided here on the blog: Drawing The Gingerbread Man

What you need:

Directions
  1. Read the story. Discuss the Gingerbread Man character and ask your learners to recall the basic story outline. Challenge them to order the event or series of characters in order.
  2. Tell students you would like them to create an art project of the Gingerbread Man.
  3. Ask them to watch you draw first. Go through the steps, verbalizing each stroke and giving page position reference cues etc.
  4. Give your students the option of following you again and copying your directed steps, or to go ahead and draw their own representation of the Gingerbread Man character.
  5. Remind your students that artworks are not photographs and drawing with real life detail or proportions is not at all required - that in fact a more fluid and energetic interpretation can often be more expressive and appealing. 
  6. Draw the steps again, pausing between each for students who are following you.
  7. Use watercolors or similar to add color and movement to the artworks.
