Grids are like invisible rulers on paper that help artists draw things the right size and shape. Imagine you're copying a picture of a cat, but instead of drawing the whole thing at once, you divide it into small squares, like puzzle pieces. Then, you copy each piece one by one to make the full image look perfect.
Examples
- A child draws a cat’s face using squares on the paper to copy it step by step
- An artist divides a landscape into small boxes to draw each part one at a time
- A student uses grid lines to match the size of an apple in a drawing
