Younger students learn to compare shapes, sketch lightly, and develop observational skills to better the drawing process. while older children, teens, and adults develop or refine their ability to sketch, Observe and draw for accuracy and placement, measure height and width, and apply correction techniques to develop the confidence to draw anything.
