oh boy, did they hate doing this...i set up a fairly complicated still life and asked them to draw it as best they could using charcoal. after about 20 minutes i asked them to rotate 5 spots to their right, to someone else's drawing. they were to correct what they saw in front of them, erase and re-draw as they thought was necessary. some students arrived at a drawing that was better than theirs and some arrived at drawings that needed a lot of work. i had them work on an additional two drawings before returning to their own to see what had become of it.
we had a discussion about what you see when you look at someone else's drawing...how it's easier to see the mistakes and why. we talked about flexibility and how in order to make accurate drawings you need to be willing to adjust, eliminate, add, and look very closely.
