Observational Drawing from black and white photograph


many of my students do not always "see" what is in front of them. So, observational exercise can be challenging. while they connect to the object and it meaning, image drawn tend to be an icon or symbol. 

I always find exercise like this helpful and clear because two person are looking at the same thing: to explain shape or form, depth, or scale is relative easier. 

a key rule: no erasing!! they have a choice, either draw over or start on a new piece (in which case, we number the paper instead if discarding it)
