Draw a Simple Cat - Art Project

Kathy Barbro - Art Teacher
Two circles get this simple cat drawing off to a good start.

If you begin by tracing a roll of masking tape, kinders especially will be more likely to draw a cat that is nice and large and fills their paper. Circles are one of the harder shapes for them to draw, and I’ve found that a roll of masking tape is the perfect template for them to hold and trace.
