Learning Objectives:
Students will...
The student will learn the concept of line, contour lines, and cross contour lines. The student will learn line quality and it’s effects on form and light. The student will learn how to use cross contour lines to create the illusion of form and light.
DESCRIPTION
Students will use their knowledge of line, line quality, and cross contour lines to create a finished line drawing using graphite and pen and ink. The finished image should communicate the illusion of form through the use of line quality and cross contour lines.
Materials:
-
White drawing paper
-
Pencils
-
Black ink pens
-
Erasers
-
Various objects
Final Work:
Instructor will show examples of finished cross contour line drawings and set high expectations for completed work. Students will draw imagery first of their choosing in graphite lightly on 9" by 12" white drawing paper. Then they will go over the graphite with markers and pens and enhance line quality and create cross contour lines. Students will then erase pencil lines last. (See project examples below.)
