What are some reasons that your audience would reject your idea, and how do you plan to address those arguments against your cause?
They may say “I’m not good at it therefore why should I.” I will acknowledge the counterpoints and offer a rebuttal.

I can think back to a few times when I lost my voice, due to being sick and having a dry erase board to draw on helped immensely.

Coordination
Drawing takes coordination between your hands, eyes, and brain. Drawing strengthens your fine motor skills. According to Wells, The more you practice drawing, the better your hand, eyes, and brain can harmonize together. Your hands become an instrument to help you record the world around you.
Cerebral benefits / Therapeutic
Drawing helps build new connections and pathways in our brain. This is due to both sides of the brain actively participating and as a result of this our brains grow (Wells). It also boosts our ability to concentrate. If we are focused on drawing we are less likely to scroll through social media absentmindedly.
Analytical Skills/ Understanding
The more you draw the more you understand the world around you. Drawing an object from life forces you to

You can use a pencil or pen. Drawing tools like crayons, color pencils or markers are often relatively
As an individual who’s been drawing and painting since before she could even hold a pen – apparently, I used to spill my grandma’s tea and make shapes with it – art has always been my favorite pastime. It’s tranquil and relaxing, and mixing paints is the most satisfying experience. Thus, it’s no wonder that the activity that I’m most invested in is art.
I started drawing when I was 16. I was cursing 10th grade, or how is called in my country, Dominican Republic “Segundo de Bachillerato”. It was recess. I was alone in my classroom that day, besides two or three people who were just killing time there, and I didn’t had much to do with my time. I was at the last book of a series of books which names I can’t remember and If I recall correctly the last book was very boring for some reason so I didn’t wanted to read it anymore. So, looking for something to do, I stood from my seat and walked boringly down the aisle of chairs and that was, not my first interaction with art, but the first time I remember i liked art or paid attention to it. Yerkis, a guy of my class: short, chubby and well mannered
First, art improves the way we communicate our thoughts and emotions to others. According to Lesli Walsh, author of “Why We All Need Art in Our Lives”, when we create and view art, we use logic and reason to create meaning in what we are seeing. We are already practicing actions that help us view and create art, so it will be easy using them during our learning
I could draw good but I don't like to do it because I am left handed and it always smudges.
Once a visual learner sees and understands what is being expected of them to understand, they sometimes will have to write or draw it. If they are writing or taking
I agree with Mr. Kaphar in many ways. There are people who learn more efficiently through visualization and one of this kind of people. He explains that painting is a language where everything in a painting is meaningful, important and coded. However, sometimes because of the composition structure it is difficult to see other things. By using
Moreover, they are based on seeing positive and negative shapes and noting shape, proportion, angles, direction and sub-shapes (Dinham, 2015, p. 2). Any object can be used in an observational drawing, likewise anything that is of interest to the artist or the audience. A viewfinder, such as a piece of square cardboard with a postage stamp sized cut out may be used to help isolate sections of the object, thus aiding students’ “…understanding of spatial relationships” (Dinham, 2014, p. 374). An observational drawing demonstrates the process required to carefully view and draw an object. It highlights the importance of paying particular attention to recognise the leaves lines, shape, and edges and the need to take the time to draw meticulously. Observational drawings have a positive impact in the classroom because they allow students to explore the visual world using their senses, such as their sight, to express ideas and make meaning of these processes (Dinham, 2015, p. 1). Therefore, it is recommended that the processes of observational drawing should become a regular arts practice in the classroom and must be incorporated in the curriculum several times a
Yet it takes piles of cliche, over-simplified sketches with only the extremely distinct aspects of your focus to clarify exactly what object you are drawing to finally begin to learn how to truly see what you are looking at. With practice (and an incredible, patient, encouraging art teacher) you learn how to separate what you know from what you are seeing. Starting with copying a signature you are taught to simply flip it over, transforming what you are recognizing in your mind as letters into unidentifiable lines. By doing this it becomes easier to learn how to separate what we know from what we are seeing and mutes the side of your brain telling you to draw what you know, allowing you to copy the shapes and curves of the line without being influenced by what your mind is telling you what you are seeing. By continuing to learn how to separate what you know from what you are seeing you become aware of every little shape, line, and shadow, allowing you to move away from cliches and learn how to draw what is truly in front of
The pencil liberates my stresses and sorrows. Bare and unimpeded, my mind is able to isolate itself from anything that was happening in my life. At my art table, which is merely an escape from reality, my curiosity is able to wander. Within this room, five blank canvas's look in on me as I become a mold of my imagination. A step inside my world develops into a sea of color and exploration. The vibrancy of the walls resonates throughout. Over the years, my room has served as my oasis. It’s my escape from monotonous and mundane routines. It’s my exploration of another side of me. I observe such works of art almost as much as I create. Taking notice of my classmates’ innovations and inspired by their creativity, my paintbrush begins to alleviate stress. I strive to produce pieces others will appreciate, but often find myself to be the true admirer. My pride, in this world, is driven simply by my own curiosity to express myself. I credit this side of me as the “passion” that supplements my insane drive for success. This passion has sparked critical thinking in me as well as how I see failure. Life is a blank canvas and you can truly draw whatever you want, and if you fail, you start over and don’t make that same mistake again! Hard work takes ideas quite far, but true success is derived from ingenuity and the generation of
My parents were never the ones to send their children to classes. While other kids were busy being tutored, swimming at the community center, or sent to a studio for art: I was the one at home staring at the television or playing with my cars as my only source of entertainment. Eventually, I grew tired and would do whatever was available to me, I would pick up pen and paper and I'd draw: and before I knew it, I became obsessed. Every flat surface became a victim of my addiction. Even my bedroom ceiling had drawings taped to it. Gradually, a minuscule spark of passion for art was lit inside of me.

Ever since I was gifted a sketchbook for my sixth birthday, I developed a passion for drawing. Whether that was scribbling out random characters for my amateur comic strips or designing outfits for my pretend fashion show, I enjoyed every second of it. One day as I strolled through the career center at school, a particular dual enrollment course caught my eye. The class was encompassed around technical drawing and applying it to architecture and engineering graphics. Knowing I have been drawing since I was young and held an interest in architecture, I wanted to challenge myself by taking this class.
Twelve years earlier, I had trouble drawing stick figures. The idea of transferring three-dimensional objects onto paper was wizardry. It was mystifying to watch people know exactly where to place their pencil and shade. I was too embarrassed to show my own art. In kindergarten, I remember drawing a girl's face on a whiteboard and immediately wiping it away.
The translation from the mind’s eye to paper or any other medium, has been my tension relieving entertainment. I grew up experimenting with three-dimensional sketches, until my norm for classroom boredom doodlings with pencils on paper became “masterpieces”.
