I'm getting ready to start a unit on drawing people with my
grades 8-12 at risk students. I will be showing them how to set
up proportions using Kimon Nicolaides' system of "simple
proportions" that he based on a unit of one (page 106 if you have
his book The Natural Way to Draw.) My questions are: 1)
Have any of you used this approach with your students? 2) Any
tips on directing the lesson to keep their short attention spans
focused?
