Learn To Draw Roses
Teach students how to see by creating space and time for them to continually practice. Think of teaching drawing in the same way that you would think of teaching music. Students are taught to play an instrument by a continual process of listening and repeating. When they become attuned to the intricacies of music they synthesize combinations of notes and create music of their own.
Scheduled Practice Time
When students learn to play an instrument it is important that they expect to practice for a set amount of time every day. Drawing is similar. It is wise to schedule 5minutes of silent sketching every morning at the beginning of the day. Teachers who work in a denominational school might like to set focused drawing during, before or after prayer time. Working quietly at this time is beneficial because the atmosphere is already settled. Painting and Drawing are seen by some as forms of meditation and so it is thought that the focused experience settles the students as well as eases them into the drawing task. There is a sense of 'right fit' when drawing is scheduled within a serene environment. 5 minutes a day would, of course, need to be accompanied by other much longer experimental, structured instructional drawing input at least once a week.
Environmental Factors
Environmental factors affect the effectiveness of the drawing classroom. Students need to feel safe and supported to express themselves. They need quiet, uncrowded space within which they can concentrate. This space will be free of distraction and the ambiance consciously structured so that the students will feel safe from criticism. The article Appreciative Inquiry describes one way to ensure safety and constructive support for the Art Student.
