This sounds like a great unit! You didn't say how old the kids were, but
an abstraction or metamorphoses drawing or painting comes to my mind for
this subject. Example: You could slowly break down an image of a
mother/child, like a Madonna, into a leather clad, buxom motorcycle pin-up
or a 50's era housewife. The possibilities are endless! This could be
done on a computer if you're equipped. If not, the students could use an
image from history (which would involve them doing a bit of research into
its origins) and one from a contemporary magazine. If you traced both, you
could superimpose them and find common lines to use in the transformation.
If you want to put a figure drawing emphasis on it, have them model for
each other to get a variety of poses that could be used. This would make
a cool painting!
