Illustration with Purpose Creativity with Power
Teaching a figure drawing unit to high schoolers in their mandatory studio art class the challenge becomes teaching specific practices in a way that’s fun enough to inspire true engagement. Two activities that went well: drawing classmates as they pose for you, and adding contour lines to define muscles and clothing on a skeletal frame. Despite the range range of skills, it was fun to see each student’s vision of what details were important to identify their characters.
