I am teaching a Drawing I course for the Community College. I only have two or three student who are pursuing a degree in art. This always make it a little difficult for them as I teach to the art student.
We have been working on measuring the object for accuracy in drawing from observation. Some of them understood this instantly, others are struggling with the concept.
So last night I gave each student a crayon of a different colour. I set up a stool on a pedestal and had them start drawing. I stressed the importance of measuring and that they should make every attempt to get it right. After about 10 minutes of working on their drawing I had them move over one space and start drawing and correcting the drawing of another student. They repeated this until they came back to their original drawing.
Hallelujah! Several of them had a break through and  understood how and why they should measure. So proud of them! These drawings are from my class last night.
