Today I want to draw 2 ballerinas. We'll draw them both in classic tutus--you choose the color. We'll draw one ballerina twirling fast, and one leaping long. We'll make sure they're wearing their pointe shoes.

Here are 3 ideas your imagination can wonder about based on our drawing today:

1. Ballerinas sometimes wear tutus and pointy shoes - why do they dress in certain outfits?
2. When you jump and leap and spin which muscles can you feel it in?
3. What makes you want to dance?

Want to draw something similar to this? Try the friendly fairies or the fancy princess.

Maybe this episode wasn't your favorite? How about 3 swimming sharks or a cowboy riding a horse.

Today I want to draw a firetruck. We'll draw a big one with a place for the drivers, a place for gauges, and the big long back for the hose, the extra compartments, and the ladder. Of course we'll add flashing lights on top. We'll also talk about how emergency signals like sirens and alarms can be loud--but they're there to help us.

Here are 3 ideas your imagination can wonder about based on our drawing today:

1. Why do firefighters have to learn so much to be ready to fight fires?
2. Are you the type of artist you likes to draw very accurately, very abstractly, or both?
3. How can you make sure your family is prepared during an emergency?

If you like this one and want to try more fire safety, try drawing a firefighter. Or maybe your artist wants to draw more trucks? How about the monster trucks jumping from a ramp.

If this episode wasn't your style, how about a fancy princess? Or a yellow submarine floating by an octopus's garden.

Today I want to draw a big giant crazy ice cream sundae. We'll start with a fancy dish, then add classic toppings like a banana. chocolate syrup, whipped cream, and of course, your artist choice of any toppings you can think of. Drawing sprinkles reminded me of the famous pointillism artwork of Georges Seurat, so I talked a bit about his work and his artist choice to use dots. I'll show you a picture of his most famous painting on my blog.

Here are 3 ideas your imagination can wonder about based on our drawing today:

1. Ice cream is sooo good. Why can’t we eat it for breakfast and lunch and dinner?
2. We talked about doing art with dots only- what’s your fav artist choice you’ve ever made?
3. Who would you want to share a sundae with?

Wanna draw more fun foods? Try ants carrying snacks away from a picnic or a wacky pizza.

Not into drawing food stuff? How about a yellow submarine floating by an octopuses garden or a cowboy riding a horse.

Today I want to draw 2 crabby crabs crab-walking on the beach. We'll draw some ocean waves, and 2 crabs with very grumpy faces. This will be filled with a few crab facts, as well tips on how to rescue ourselves from crabby feelings. We'll talk a little bit about taking a deep breath when we feel crabby. And we'll talk about where crabs take deep breaths--under water AND on land!

Here are 3 ideas your imagination can wonder about based on our drawing today:

1. Why do we call grumpy people crabby?
2. What if you had claws instead of hands--how would you do things differently?
3. When you feel crabby, what do you like to do to calm yourself down or cheer yourself up?

Today I want to draw sharks! We'll draw a Great White Shark with many sharp teeth, a Basking Shark with a giant open mouth, and a Hammer Head Shark down at the bottom of the ocean where he likes to hunt his prey. There are a lot of shark facts in this one! Most sharks are greyish blue, but an artist can make them any color they want--because there's no wrong way to do art.

Here are 3 ideas your imagination can wonder about based on our drawing today:

1. Why are there so many different types of sharks?
2. How can your care for the planet protect sharks?
3. If you were a shark, what kind do you think you would be?

Today I want to draw a rock star rocking out with their guitar. They'll have rock star hair, of course--it's your artist choice to decide what that looks like. We'll spend some time getting the details of the guitar just right, and then we will design our own crazy rock star outfits.

Here are 3 ideas your imagination can wonder about based on our drawing today:

1. If you’re drawing along with me, you’re an artist. What other art are you curious about?
2. Why do musicians sometimes dress to match the music they’re making?
3. Musicians like to make up songs -- can you make up a song?

Wanna draw more humans doing cool things? Try drawing a baseball player up to bat, or a magician pulling a rabbit from a hat.

Not into drawing humans? How about a sand castle or a pirate ship?

Today I want to draw a sandcastle and decorate it with pieces of nature that we found at the beach. We'll draw a sand castle with three main parts, one made from a bucket, one made from a cup, and one made from hands only. We'll add sticks, shells, seaweed, and a straw to decorate.

Here are 3 ideas your imagination can wonder about based on our drawing today:

1. When you’re low on building supplies or toys, what can you use instead?
2. Why do we have to pick up all of our trash from the beach every time?
3. What would it be like to live in a sand castle?

Today I want to draw ants carrying snacks away from a picnic. We'll draw 3 ants marching in a line across a picnic blanket. Each ant will have a different food on their back: a watermelon slice, a cookie, and your artist's choice.

This episode shows how practicing might help you feel more confident in your drawings, since we draw 3 ants the same way, with a head, a thorax, an abdomen and 6 legs.

Here are 3 ideas your imagination can wonder about based on our drawing today:

1. We talked about how ants have 2 stomachs - what would you do with 2 stomachs?
2. Why do ants like picnics so much? Do they like them more than you?
3. Why do ants march in a straight line?

Today I want to draw a town that you get to make up and you get to name. This was an artist submitted idea-- thank you, Henry! We'll draw a town with a house for you and your family, a park to play in, a library for toys, and one more fun building of your artist's choice.

Here are three ideas your imagination can wonder about based on our drawing today:

1. What makes a town a wonderful place to live?
2. Think about where you live…where did the name of your city or town come from?
3. If you could do one thing to make your town or city a better place- what would it be? Can you do it?

Today I want to draw a lemonade stand. We'll draw a big table with a banner. Our table will have a pitcher and a bowl of lemons and some extra bonus fruits. Today's episode is inspired by the ongoing heat that many of us are facing across the globe. Remember to take breaks from the sun and sip lots of water!

Here are 3 ideas your imagination can wonder about based on our drawing today:

1. If you could add an extra special ingredient to your lemonade what would it be?
2. What can you do to keep yourself cool during a heatwave?
3. Why do you think lemons taste sour but lemonade tastes sweet?
