Objective: Students will gain an understanding of contour drawing strategies as a way to develop their artistic seeing skills. Students will apply this knowledge in developing their first sculpture.
Task: Students are to produce a 12 x 18 drawing that shows an introductory to contour drawing. Their drawing will reflect 3-5 different objects that relate to a chosen theme. (Example: Theme of Light, student could draw the outline of a candle, a light bulb, a lamp, and a flash light)
Requirements:
1. Drawings must be from looking at the 3 demensional object (no tracing or drawing for a photograph)
2. You will only need to draw the outside shape of the object (don't worry about drawing the details of the object)
3. You should fill in the shapes and background with any type of shading, coloring, mark making you would like.
4. Drawings should overlap in some type of way
5. Drawings should take up at least 75% of paper.
