The secret to my success.....marshmallows! Such an easy way to introduce the idea and keep their interest. Bonus, they are excited to eat the marshmallows when they're done. ;)
I like this because it's a nice way to have them attempt drawing an object sitting in front of them without too much detail and stress.
We first review how to draw a simple cylinder. I demonstrate via a document camera and they follow along. We also practice shading. All of this is done with low lighting in the room.
Next, each student is given a paper placemat and some large and small marshmallows. They are asked to set up at least four different arrangements with their marshmallows and draw them - shading included!
