The Art 1 class has been working on contour line. A contour line defines the edges and details of an object. We started with blind and modified contour drawings where the students cannot look at the paper while drawing - they focus on the object they are drawing instead. This taught students how to draw what they see, not what they think they see. As a final contour line project, students drew their shoes. The shoes are on display in the athletic foyer right now.

Next, students took their contour lines and made them 3D! Students created contour wire sculptures of objects that are meaningful to them. Students will also write artist statements about their wire sculptures. The sculptures and statements will be on display during conferences.
