Using the Drawing Prompts as a Warm Up
The Drawing Prompts are a great way to help learners be open about what drawing is and how they make marks on a page.
Before you work with the drawing cards, consider enabling learners to understand how they hold a pencil, how much pressure they apply, and how they move their arm will effect the marks they make. See Anatomy of a Pencil resource here.

Using the Drawing Prompts as an Aid to Exploring
In the resource below, the AccessArt Drawing prompts were used as a way to help teachers (or learners of any age) explore artwork made by others (in this case an exhibition of the work by Degas at the Fitzwilliam Museum). The drawing prompts help learners collect information in a visual way and help make an individual creative resource.
