"Drawing bodies is a good thing to learn in Art. Drawing
bodies helped me understand art better. First you draw a circle, then you draw
two little half circles for the ears. Then you make two oval eyes, and draw
hair. Then you make a big half circle for the mouth, and the nose can look like
whatever you want. Then you put a rectangle for the body (or a triangle) and
make two skinny rectangles for your arms. Then you make two skinny rectangles
for your legs. Then you add two ovals for your shoes, and you draw whatever
kind of hands you want. If you make stick figures, it doesn’t look real because
it looks like lines. But if you follow these steps, you will get something that
looks more real because it is made of shapes.

"First, I had no idea how to draw a person and I would just draw stick figures. Then, I started with actual square bodies. And then I went on to circle bodies, and then I went to the hardest step where you use lots of shapes. Now, I can draw really well. I can add details on the clothing using a triangle and a line down the middle for a shirt with buttons. I like how my teacher inspires me, and I can make pictures on my own."
