Extensions
Perceptual Awareness: Secure artworks or reproductions that portray people. Have the class practice looking at the artwork from the vantage point of both model and artist.
Science: Draw “from life”, using such models as a small animal (mouse), an aquarium with fish or potted plants. Do not insist on accuracy and drawing, but encourage attention to details.
