It’s working better to drop the iPad and use big sheets of paper. I can check in with the artist a lot more since I can see what is being drawn, and hold the artist responsible to me visually. Is anyone else doing dropping the iPad? Just curious. (The iPad made the artist stop listening – too many tech toys in there.)
Also, it seems that in many classes there is a child who really wants to be the artist and is disappointed to not be chosen. So I have created the job of “Second Artist” who draws in an unofficial capacity just because it’s fun.
