Funny Faces
Having a student in the centre of the room (you can also use an object), and play music drawing that person from your seat, when the music stops you go to someone else's seat and draw that same person from that perspective. You draw right over top of your previous drawing, you can use different colours if you want. You go to multiple seats and continue drawing.
Crazy Corpse
Fold pieces of paper into three sections, one student will draw a head, it can be of an animal, a person, anything you want, and then they fold the head over so the next person can't see and they draw the body, and then fold it over, and the next person draws legs.
Drawing Telephone
Fold a long thin piece of paper into numerous squares, write a description phrase on one square and pass it to your neighbour, then your neighbour will draw a picture from the phrase written, and then fold over the phrase so that the next person only sees the drawing, and they will write a phrase based on the drawing, and you keep going around the room for as many squares as you have, and then open it up and see how different the pictures are.
Adjectives
Get students to list numerous adjectives to aid them in describing artwork, giving them references for when they begin to critique art. You can get students to draw lines based on an adjective, such as: what does a cranky line look like?, what does a beautiful line look like?, what does a fuzzy line look like?
Abstract Drawings - What does heaven look like?
Get the students to draw what heaven looks like, but they can't use any cliche's, you can list the various things they cannot draw, such as hearts, wings, angels, gates, clouds, the class needs to personally connect to what heaven means to them and create a drawing that is not cliche.
