Use a document camera!
Document cameras allow students to see what you are doing. Teachers can take students step by step in learning specific drawing and painting techniques while students are mastering these skills at their desks. Great tool!!!!!

Digital technologies are making it easier for kids to make art that they can publish and share. And educators say this matters for learning.
