Helping Year 1 Art students understand visual art can be tough for a few reasons:

• Understanding Concepts: Many students find it hard to get the basic ideas of art.
• Skill Development: Learning how to draw well takes time and practice.
• Creativity Block: Students sometimes feel stuck and can't come up with new ideas.

To help with these issues, teachers can:

1. Give Clear Instructions: Break down the ideas into simple steps.
2. Encourage Exploration: Let students express themselves freely to spark their creativity.
3. Use Guided Practice: Use structured exercises to help them improve their drawing skills.
