Key Concepts
On My Blackboard I Can Draw (Poem)
This poem is about a child who loves to draw on the blackboard. The child draws many wonderful things: the sun, the moon, stars, houses, trees, animals, flowers, and rivers. On the blackboard, the child can draw anything they imagine. The poem encourages children to be creative and use their imagination to draw and create art.
The Power of Imagination
When we use our imagination, we can create anything. We can draw things we see around us — houses, trees, and animals. We can also draw things from our imagination — dragons, castles, and magical lands. Drawing helps us express our feelings and ideas. Every child is an artist.
Things We Can Draw
There are so many things we can draw. We can draw nature: sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, and flowers. We can draw people: our family, friends, and teachers. We can draw animals: cats, dogs, birds, and fish. We can draw things: houses, cars, trains, and kites. Drawing is a way to show the world what we see and feel.
Drawing and Writing Tools
We use different tools to draw and write. Chalk is used to draw on a blackboard. Pencils are used to draw on paper. Crayons are colourful sticks used to draw and colour. Paint brushes are used with paint to create colourful pictures. Erasers help us correct our mistakes.
