One Line Contour

 
This week's art class was about "single line contour".  We had several photos of Batman villains; some from current movies and some from the old TV  series in the 60's.  Students had to choose a starting point and contour draw the complete character without lifting the pen.  These kids range in age from 9 to 14.  Their results were amazing!
Try it...  it's takes a lot of planning to figure out how to move through the image and figure out how and where to move from one feature to another.

Draw a word

 
This week's art class was just too much fun!  I bought a book at Goodwill for $2 and cut the pages out of it.  The kids were given a page and told to find a word on the page and draw a picture.  Very, very fun!   Here are the words they found.
 
Mustache
 
Duck
 
Keys
 
Bathroom
 
Murder
 
Kitchen
 
Sheriff
