The science behind drawing for learners

Discover different development areas that both you and your students can tap into with Slide Drawing activities.

Encourage creative expression

Drawing allows students to communicate visually and represent their ideas in a manner that may be different from how they would express them through writing or verbal communication. Activities like so open the opportunity for them to express thoughts, ideas, and feelings in a unique and personal way.

Improve visual learning & memory

When students draw, they are actively constructing meaning and creating a visual representation of their thoughts and ideas which in turn, help them better understand and remember new information. This creates room for students to learn in a more holistic and comprehensive manner.

Enhance learning modalities

Overall, drawing can be a powerful tool for enhancing multiple modalities including visual, kinesthetic and semantic. Going down the line, drawing can foster a sense of visual representation of new information, improve sense of touch by manipulating a drawing tool, and improve visual language through personal expression.

Develop visual-spatial skills

Drawing can help students develop their visual-spatial skills, which involve being able to understand and manipulate the spatial relationships between objects. These skills are most specifically important to help them with tasks such as reading maps, solving puzzles, and understanding diagrams.
