I am going to have the students being a drawing lesson in disguise this week. We have been asked to get the kids to draw various landmarks from around Spartanburg to spruce up dreary office space downtown (actual location will be specified in later blog). I have printed a large variety of photographs for the students to use as references, as well has how to draw guides to help supplement my instruction on perspective. The age group has a large range, so the older students will need less assistance with this project and the youngest will obviously need more. I have set up a tracing station on the window (a window can be used as a makeshift light box) for the younger and least experienced artist ONLY. I don't want the talented students to be lazy and trace! I strong hate the phrase "i can't" and plan to show the students that they actually can. I will motivate the students by showing them my example (below) and telling them that if they put extra effort into the drawing that I will frame it, and it will be displayed. The kids love for their work to be displayed, so I have faith that this will really inspire them to make these beautiful.
