Poszła Pani do sklepu…how to draw a person Posted by on Mar 1, 2012 in Uncategorized

I remember learning how to draw a person when I was a little child…Most of the kids like pictures and fun way to introduce them how to learn something.

This is how my mother taught me how to draw a person (osoba, człowiek):

While you are drawing, you tell the story:

Poszła Pani do sklepu…(one lady went grocery shopping ….)  i kupiła (and bought):

2 cebule 2 onions (we are drawing eyes)

marchewkę carrot (we are drawing nose)

pietruszkę parsley (we are drawing mouth)

zawinęła to w chusteczkę she wrapped it all in a handkerchief/towel (we are drawing a circle around it all as face and close it with a little bow on the top as hair)

bochenek chleba loaf of bread (we are drawing torso/belly)

pieprz pepper (we are drawing belly button)

2 cukierki 2 pieces of candy (we are drawing  hands)

2 nóżki wołowe 2 beef legs (we are drawing legs)

I dziecko gotowe/ i człowiek gotowy and baby/person is ready

You can always change the story and things you buy…whatever makes you happy and as long as it looks like things you are drawing:)

Have fun!

My name is Kasia Scontsas. I grew near Lublin, Poland and moved to Warsaw to study International Business. I have passion for languages: any languages! Currently I live in New Hampshire. I enjoy skiing, kayaking, biking and paddle boarding. My husband speaks a little Polish, but our daughters are fluent in it! I wanted to make sure that they can communicate with their Polish relatives in our native language. Teaching them Polish since they were born was the best thing I could have given them! I have been writing about learning Polish language and culture for Transparent Language’s Polish Blog since 2010.
