Contour Line Drawing/Paper Art
Project Description: Students will use contour line drawing to draw silhouettes of shapes to create a layered paper art piece.
Contour drawing, is an artistic technique used in the field of art in which the artist sketches the contour of a subject by drawing lines that result in a drawing that is essentially an outline; the French word contour meaning, “outline.”
If you're interested in strengthening your drawing skills, contour line drawing is a great starting point for beginning drawers. This is because an artist drawing with contour lines will only draw the lines following the visible edges of a shape and those along the important interior shapes. During the contour line drawing process you do not need to worry about any kind of shading at all.
