analysis of an artwork 

When I was a student at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, A great drawing teacher ran a module called 'Analyse d'un Oeuvre'. We would mainly draw from paintings at the Louvre. It was a great way to learn about tonal values, rhythm, proportions etc. without having the added pressure of doing something original. As students, we came to realise that analysing through different filters is not the same as copying.  Since then I have found it a very effective means of teaching drawing.
