Let's draw a scientist

Today I want to draw a scientist, or better yet a scientist version of you! We'll think about how we'd feel if were making something. We'll add classic crazy hair and safety goggles. Of course, we'll have a table full of different beakers. The artist's imagination will decide what the scientist is concocting. Oh, and we'll draw a special tiny helper for the scientist. Here are 3 things your imagination can wonder about: What quiet chemical reactions can you see around you? What cool concoction did you make up and what does it do? Why is it important that artist and scientists are so good at making observations and noticing details?

Let's draw a helpful robot!

Today I want to draw a helpful robot. Some parts of him light up, some stretch. He really wants to help! But what's the best way for a robot to be helpful? And how can we keep the robot dry so he doesn't get sparky? Here are 3 things your imagination can wonder about: Why can’t robots get wet? If you had a robot, what would you want it to help you with? How can you make sure you’re using technology safely?

Let's draw a pirate ship

Today I want to draw a pirate ship! We'll draw the ship, the sails, the mast, and a pirate. Maybe the pirate is you! Of course, we'll draw a treasure chest and you get to decide that's inside. Here are 3 things your imagination can wonder about: If you had a pirate ship, where would sail it? What would you want to keep in your treasure chest? Why do pirates like parrots so much?

Let's draw a dinosaur scene

Today I want to draw dinosaurs. We'll draw a huge brontosaurus with a very long neck and tail, a scary tyrannosaurus rex with sharp teeth, and pterodactyl flying through the air. We'll draw a pond between the carnivore and herbivore so nobody gets eaten for lunch! And I'll add one more sill layer of protection to keep our brontosaurus safe.

Let's draw a circus

Today I want to draw a circus. Maybe the ring master is you! We'll draw an elephant, a lion, and an acrobat flying from one trapeze bar to another. It's up to the artist to add a circus act that I may have forgotten. Here are 3 things you're imagination can wonder about, if you'd like to revisit. If you went to a circus, what would you hope to see? How do those trapeze swingers stay safe up there? If you ran a circus, how would you make sure they animals and people were taken care of?

Let's draw a lamb by a stream

March goes in like a lion and comes out like a lamb. It's the perfect day to draw a couple of little lambs playing in a field next to a stream. We'll make sure the field is full of glass and flowers so the lambs can eat. These lambs are a bit mischievous, so we'll have to draw some ways to keep track of them.

Let's draw an aquarium (this one has a made up fish)

Today I want to draw an aquarium. We'll draw two types of fish, two clean up critters--a shrimp and a snail, and most importantly a critter that YOU get to make up. Here are 3 things we'll wonder about if you'd like to revisit the topics: Why do you think underwater critters so colorful? Fish like to hide sometimes and people like to hide sometimes. Why? If you wanted to make up something to draw, where could you find inspiration?

Let's draw a brave visit to the dentist (this one has a silly face)

Today I want to draw a visit to the dentist. We'll draw ourselves in the dentist chair, and the dentist too. We will draw many of the tools the dentist uses and I'll tell you a little bit about what they do. Some people love the dentist, but I am someone who gets nervous there. So! I'll also share my tips on how to stay brave and overcome dentist anxiety. Oh, did I mention that you have to look a little silly at the dentist?

Let's draw a hot air balloon

Today we'll draw a hot air balloon in the sky. Hot air balloons traditionally have a lot of colors or wild patterns. Who will be in the basket? You! And someone to help you navigate. We'll also draw someone on the ground waving up at you.

Let's draw a spring garden

Today I want to draw a spring garden-- it's finally spring, after all! Today's drawing will start with 2 flowers and then you can add more of course. We'll plant some tomatoes on a vine. And we'll draw a butterfly, a buzzing bee, and a worm. Happy spring!
