Freehand drawing involves drawing by hand without mechanical aids or tracing. It requires eye-hand coordination to measure and draw what you see. The document provides instructions on how to prepare materials and warm up before practicing different types of freehand drawings like doodling, sketching faces, and drawing lines and shapes. Icons are illustrations used in textbooks to represent tasks for learners without using text, making them more efficient than words alone. Learners are asked to create icons for 3 tasks.
