1 CONTOUR DRAWING F-BLOCK, 9/7/12 MS. SCUDDER

2 DO NOW 1.Gather materials Clipboard 10 sheets of newsprint Pencils (from front table) Erasers (from front table) 2.Clip sheets of newsprint into your clipboard. 3.Take off one shoe and put in on the table in front of you. 4.Sit quietly until more directions are given

3 REVIEW: CONTOUR DRAWING Drawing using line to follow visible edges of a shape Emphasize mass and volume over detail Important! Not all contours exist along the outlines of a subject. Observational skills! Draw truly what the eye is seeing.

4 DOUBLE-BLIND CONTOUR DRAWING Grab a pencil. Without looking at your paper, create a contour drawing of your shoe. NEW TWIST: Eyes must be closed!! You must scan your non-drawing hand along the contours of your shoe and draw what you feel.

5 BLIND CONTOUR Without looking at your paper, draw your shoe. How did drawing what you see compare to drawing what you feel? What three types of contour drawing have we done so far? 1.“Free” contour 2.Blind contour 3.Double-blind contour What skills did you rely on in doing these drawings?

6 CONTOUR SHOE Draw your shoe 4 times. 1.In profile (toe to the right, heel to the left) 2.Bird’s eye view (from above) 3.On a diagonal 4.Straight on (from the front: toe is closest to you, heel is farthest away)
