Contour Drawings

One line to rule them all! Every tried drawing something without ever picking your pencil up off the paper? Well if so, then you created a contour drawing!

High school students looked over a variety of contour artwork and began to understand the complicity, AND simplicity of this unique art form.

The students developed their own design and then were able to determine what sort of art medium would best fit. Some choose to incorporate mixed media, while others only used ink. Can you follow the line throughout the whole piece?
