4. Contour Portraits

5. Contour : is the edge of something. Contour drawings use line to show the edge of an object. Contour drawings never use shading.

6.  Blind Contour: (pure contour) is created when you do not look at your paper while you are drawing.  Pure contour drawings are often out of proportion and strange looking, so don’t worry, they are supposed to look odd!

7. Semi Blind Contour: (a modified contour) is created when your look at your object and your paper for equal amounts of time. This enables you to check the placement of your pencil or pen, and to check proportion.

8. Continuous Line Drawing: Your pencil or pen never lifts off the page and you must examine the object which you are drawing very carefully; travelling across the edges of your object with your eyes.

12.  As a class we are going to practice drawing different types of contour drawings.  Materials: Scrap paper, drawing materials

27. Art 30

28. Rembrandt was born in Leiden on July 15, 1606 - his full name Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn. He was the son of a miller.

29. Rembrandt began his studies at the Latin School, and at the age of 14 he was enrolled at the University of Leiden. The program did not interest him, and he soon left to study art.

30.  After six months, having mastered everything he had been taught, Rembrandt returned to Leiden, where he was soon so highly regarded that although barely 22 years old, he took his first pupils. One of his students was the famous artist Gerrit Dou.

35. Rembrandt created some 300 etchings from about 1626 to 1665. Above all, he was a great innovator and experimenter in this medium, often handling traditional materials in unconventional ways. His impact on printmaking is still reflected in etchings produced today.

37. Rembrandt lighting is a lighting technique that is used in studio portrait photography. It can be achieved using one light and a reflector, or two lights, and is popular because it is capable of producing images which appear both natural and compelling with a minimum of equipment. Rembrandt lighting is characterized by an illuminated triangle under the eye of the subject on the less illuminated side of the face.
