This first exercise is to have students cut out from a magazine one body part ... foot, head, lips, ear etc. Once glued into their sketchbook they extend the image into something else. I only give them one class and since some students work faster than others, some remain in pencil partially finished while others are more developed. This could easily be stretched out to two days or more and elaborated on. Good one for the substitute teacher also and you could have an envelope filled with body parts which students randomly select. It's a good job to give students when they are finished early - cutting up body parts to fill up that envelope for when you need it. Morbid but they seem to enjoy cutting up magazines and chatting with friends.
