Students
will draw a face in one minute using one continuous line, without
looking at the paper. Before starting the activity, we list some
activities that can be completed in one minute, then I have students
estimate the duration of a minute. I model the procedure first
with two different students to emphasize that the drawing is
done without looking at the paper or lifting the marker. After
they have done one drawing, I have them nalyze their drawing
to determine whether they need to work faster, slower, bigger,
smaller, with more or less detail, etc. Then the students rotate
and draw someone else's face. I have each student do at least
three drawings, then choose their favorite to mount on construction
paper.
