In this lesson, students engage in a fun and interactive drawing activity that focuses on using basic shapes to create a happy face and a silly clown character. They learn to combine circles, ovals, squares, and rectangles to form different parts of the drawing, while also enjoying a catchy song about shapes. The lesson encourages creativity and practice, emphasizing that mastering shapes can lead to more complex drawings.
  1. What shapes did we use to make our happy face?
  2. Can you name a shape we used for the arms and legs?
  3. What fun things can we add to our drawing to make it silly?

Let’s Have Fun with Shapes!

Hey there! Are you ready to have some fun with shapes? Let’s get started by drawing some colorful shapes together!

Drawing a Happy Face

First, let’s draw a big circle. This will be the head of our happy face. Inside the big circle, draw two smaller circles for the eyes. Then, draw another circle for the mouth. Look at that smile!

Making a Funny Body

Now, let’s draw an oval right below the head. This will be the belly. On the belly, you can draw some small circles for buttons. How cute!

Adding Arms and Legs

For the arms, let’s use squares. Draw a square on each side of the belly. For the pants, we can use rectangles. Draw two rectangles below the belly for the pants. Don’t forget to add feet and hands at the ends!

Finishing Touches

Let’s add a nose by drawing a small circle in the middle of the face. And for a fun hat, draw a triangle on top of the head. Wow, now it looks like a silly clown!

Sing Along with Shapes

Let’s sing a little song: “I know my shapes, oh yes I do! I know my shapes, and you can too! A circle and an oval, a rectangle and a square, and when you add a triangle, you’re already there!”

See? Drawing with shapes is so much fun! You can do it too. Just remember your shapes, and you’ll be drawing in no time!

Keep Practicing!

Keep practicing with your shapes, and soon you’ll be able to draw all sorts of things. Have fun and keep creating!

  • What is your favorite shape to draw, and why do you like it so much? Can you think of something you see every day that is that shape?
  • When you look around your home or classroom, what shapes do you notice? Can you find a circle, a square, and a triangle?
  • If you could create a new shape, what would it look like? What would you call it, and where do you think you might see it in the world?
  • Shape Hunt: Go on a shape hunt around your home or classroom. Look for objects that match the shapes you’ve learned about, like circles, squares, rectangles, ovals, and triangles. Can you find a circle in your room? How about a square? Draw or take pictures of the objects you find and share them with your friends or family.
  • Shape Collage: Gather some colorful paper, scissors, and glue. Cut out different shapes like circles, squares, rectangles, ovals, and triangles. Use these shapes to create a fun collage. Maybe you can make a house, a car, or even a silly clown like the one you drew! Show your collage to your classmates and explain which shapes you used.
  • Shape Story Time: Imagine a story where each character is a different shape. What adventures do they go on? Maybe the circle rolls down a hill, or the triangle climbs a mountain. Draw a picture of your story and share it with your class. What shapes did you use for your characters, and why?

Here’s a sanitized version of the YouTube transcript:

[Music]

Let’s draw a circle, triangle, or square in any color you want.

First, draw a circle for the head, with two circles for eyes and one for a mouth inside. Now, draw an oval for the belly and circles for buttons on the tummy.

Rectangles can be used to represent pants, and squares can be used for arms. Draw feet and hands, then add another circle for a nose and a triangle for a hat. Now we’re finished with the clothes, and look, he looks just like a clown!

I know my shapes, oh yes I do! I know my shapes, and you can too! A circle and an oval, a rectangle and a square, and when you add a triangle, you’re already there.

Anyone can do it; it’s easy if you try. All you gotta do is know your shapes!
