Art I began their first big studio project today! Yay! In Art I, we always start our semester with contour drawing. It is the basis of all artworks. All professional artists must learn to contour draw in order to be successful. Contour drawing means looking at an object and drawing it's edges and inside details with descriptive lines to define the form. They are done slowly in order to increase accuracy. For their first project, these students observed a soda can and drew it whole and crushed. Tomorrow, they will create a tessellation by tracing a small section of one of the drawings, and then tracing this section in a pattern on a sheet of drawing paper. Check back tomorrow to see more progress!
