We do a lot of drawing at the Scott School. We're an arts-based program and on top of that our kids generally just like to draw. We have about an hour built into our daily programming schedule for reading and for homework, and when the kids finish we let them have quiet free time, which for many of them means scratch paper, a pencil, and some pretty amazing pictures.
Our teens favor imitating images from the Internet as well as anime and manga, while the kids tend to draw us, the staff, and book characters. Occasionally we'll prompt them with a famous painting and ask them to create something inspired by that work.
Here is an interpretation as done by one of our elementary program students of Clifford the Big Red Dog who she calls "Clipford":
