Activity: Mirror Drawing

Objective

How good are your art skills? For this activity you don’t need to be a budding Picasso or the next Monet, but you will need to help your partner draw a picture just as good as the one you draw.
Your task will be to get your partner to draw a picture that is exactly the same as yours, but they won’t get to see it. They’ll have only your verbal instructions to follow, to recreate your drawing.
You’ll have to use clear and accurate instructions and listen very carefully to each other to fulfil the challenge.

1/ One learner draws a picture, making sure their partner doesn’t see it.

2/ They will explain their drawing so that their partner can draw an exact replica.

3/ Once finished, compare pictures – how close is the replica to the original?

To complete this challenge:

You had to give verbal instructions that were accurate, clear and confident.
Your partner had to listen carefully, ask questions as needed and follow your instructions as closely as possible.
