Blind Contour Line Drawing

Explore the shapes found in nature as a class. Look closely at a natural object and follow the line of the shapes with your eyes or with a finger tracing in the air. Explain what a blind contour drawing is and the process in creating one.

Students choose an object from nature such as a flower or choose a photo to work from.

Students use a fine liner to explore the contours of their chosen object. Draw the object slowly without looking at the page in a single line with pen on cartridge.

Students complete their drawing and add colour to their work using coloured pencils. Students explore the smaller shapes which they have drawn and add colour to their work.
