I think the most important components of drawing that I will include in my lessons are perspective, proportions, line, shading, texture, color. I also think I would include realistic as well as abstract practices for the students to try. I want the students to be creative and adventurous with their drawings. As for getting students to step outside their comfort zone with realistic and naturalistic drawings, I think it would be best to get the students started with patterns or shapes and then work into something to do with geometric design and then slowly lead into a drawing project that allows the students to draw freely with feelings and rythmn. It may not make sense to them but it will allow them to loosen up and realize art does not have to be recognizable or always realisitic. I think it's important to keep encouraging them and keep them comfortable with their experimenting.
As for a drawing, I can't think of my most favorite famous drawing, but I do love Chuck Close's drawings, I think they are amazing. But I'm really proud of one of my drawings I did 2 years ago. It is of 2 hands held together. I was impressed with how quickly I drew it and how well it turned out. Because it usually takes me forever to draw something of quality, in my eyes. It was a personal growth moment, and I still love the way it looks.
