One of the resources I have found for teaching students how to draw is Betty Edward's Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain. Edward's writes about how people would be more comfortable with drawing and making artwork if we as educators spent as much time nurturing the right side of the brain (spatial, emotional, visual knowledge) as we do the left side of the brain (verbal, logical knowledge).
This exercise begins with students using a piece of plexiglass to trace all the contours of their hand. Then they transfer these contours to an 18" x 24" sheet of white drawing paper. Students then fill in all the value they can find in their hand. Every hand drawing is as unique as the students are!
