Contour Line
• Contour Line is the line which defines a form or
edge - an outline with other major lines. • Contour drawing is the place where most artists
start, following the visible edges of a shape.• The contour describes the outermost edges of a
form, as well as dramatic changes of plane within the form.
Blind Contour – Is creating contour by only looking at the object and only your paper once you have finished drawing the entire object.
IN CLASS: Look at the different items on your table. DO NOT TOUCH OR MOVE THEM.
IN YOUR SKETCHBOOK… Draw the contours (major lines) of each item separately.
Be sure to draw them ½ page or LARGER.And don’t forget today’s DATE!!!
HOMEWORK:Pick 5 (FIVE) items from around your house/bed room, etc. They should be an interesting shape. NOT a plain bottle or ball, etc.
IN YOUR SKETCHBOOK… • Draw a blind contour of each. • They should each have their own page. • Label each item. • And put the DATE on the page.
