Albrecht Durer Rhinocerous
The students each received a one inch square of a drawing. They did not know what they were creating. They just knew that they had look at the lines and the texture, and when they transferred it to a six inch square, it had to match up to a neighbor's. Not until the last piece was in, did they recognize it to be the Rhino.
Doing this exercise, the students got a taste of what grid drawing is like. They also were thrilled to see how close they came to the original!
