In the upper grades of elementary school, I try to spend more time helping students to develop their drawing skills. I usually teach drawing using observation to help instill more confidence at this stage. I say "at this stage" because this is the stage where students' verbal, or left brain, is really on overdrive, i.e. becoming more dominant.
We used our shoes as our subject. Luckily we did this drawing before the kids went to PE. The students carefully observed their shoes and tried to draw exactly what they saw. For fun and some variety, they added a block of color and pattern. I think they turned out quite nice.
