Why have students draw boring cylinders and tubes for a lesson in dimension when they can draw a Leprechaun hat instead? They basically have the same shape, the hat is just a bit wider at the top, that's all.

When the hat top is done, it's not too hard to add a brim with a little curve to it too. It's even possible to add a conversation in how the LINES of the brim make it look like the SHAPE of a, say, potato chip or something. That's two Elements of Art words right there, and adding some darker VALUE for shading will add another.

Love it when some festive seasonal drawings add lessons in the Principles of Art too!
