Valentine Bear Drawing
Children that are just learning how to draw do their best work when they have what I call anchor points to refer to. For instance, asking them to “place their pencil in the center of a sheet of paper and draw up and back to the center for half of a heart” is so much clearer than just asking them to “draw half a heart”.
Those guide lines could be made from just folding and creasing the paper, or actually printing them if you have a lot of students. They take all the guesswork out of getting that large heart centered on the sheet of paper. And once the heart is in place, drawing the rest of this simple teddy is a piece of cake.

Draw a Valentine Bear with a Heart
One of the best reasons to learn how to draw, aside from all the learning skills they offer, is the chance to make a little work of art for someone special on a special day. One of those days comes up next month, and when students learn how to draw a Valentine Bear, they have all kinds of options of how to make a beautiful handmade Valentine card.
This bear is so simple to draw, not to mention the paws and heart, that it makes it a very doable drawing for even very young artists. They hardest part will be deciding how to finish it off — paints, crayons, markers?
If the drawing looks a little taller than my other letter size projects, it’s because it is proportioned to fit well on a folded 9″ x 12″ sheet of paper. This obviously makes a pretty card, and the smaller art is easier to finish in one class session too.
