Students in Ms. Sibley’s SDC class have been putting their artistic skills to work through directed drawing, a fun and structured activity that helps them build focus, confidence, and creativity. Following step-by-step instructions, students learn to create detailed and imaginative drawings while developing important fine motor and visual-spatial skills.
Ms. Sibley encourages each student to follow the directions while also adding their own personal touches, giving them the chance to express their individuality and creativity. “Directed drawing is a wonderful way for students to practice patience, attention to detail, and pride in their work,” Ms. Sibley explained. “It’s amazing to see how each student’s personality comes through in their drawings.”
The classroom is filled with excitement and concentration as students carefully follow instructions, share their creations with peers, and celebrate each other’s artwork. Parents and staff alike have noticed how the activity promotes confidence, independence, and a love of learning in a supportive, structured environment.
With each completed drawing, Ms. Sibley’s students gain more than just artistic skills—they build self-confidence, practice persistence, and enjoy the satisfaction of creating something uniquely their own. Directed drawing has become a favorite part of the school day, combining creativity, focus, and fun for every student in the class.
