Drawing Exercise #1- Blind Contour Drawing

9/24/2015

 
Picture
Objectives: 
Understand what a blind contour drawing is and why we practice this technique.
Create a series of blind contour drawings of your hand.

Steps:
1. Complete reading and view samples
2. Discuss the book " Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain"
3. Set up your drawing area with the materials and position yourself so that you can see your hand but not the paper you are drawing on.
4. Complete a series of drawings of your hand on the paper. There is no required number of times that you need to draw your hand, but the goal is for you to achieve and develop a new way of seeing and drawing. You will notice that your drawings will contain more details and a variety of lines. Some students will work on numerous drawings while others will complete a few drawings very slowly.

Resources:
