Emphasis on multi-part projects, such as journaling, and inexpensive
ideas for the classroom.

and benefits of having students draw from observation? How does
observational drawing improve their skills and thinking? 2.

observational drawing? Select five and describe how each is integral to
drawing. 3. What are some ways to encourage creativity when you ask students to observe and represent reality? 4. What are some ways to integrate experimentation into observational drawing? 5. What methods could you use to assist students in developing and applying assessments of their own work? Workshop Gallery (Includes work from the Nov 19 and March 4 workshops).
