Students warmed up their drawing skills recently by trying their hand at some figure drawing. After testing out different graphite drawing pencils, they took turns modeling for each other while I provided directions and gave pointers.

| Students were reminded to look at their subject frequently. |
For example, for some drawings, students had several minutes to complete the drawing and were encouraged to include a lot of details. Others, however, were speedy sketches with only a few seconds to get down the essence of the figure they were trying to capture.
Students were not given erasers, so they were forced to turn mistakes into "happy accidents." It became a fun game to see what kinds of poses the models could hold and how fast the artists could sketch it!
