One Line Portrait
Week of March 15th - 18thOne Line Portrait
Week of March 15th - 18thArtists in 2nd grade discussed the art element of lines and if it were possible to draw without looking. We challenged the idea and created blind contour portraits.
Taking away the ability to look at their drawing opens up an entire world of challenges, openness, and play.

Los artistas de segundo grado discutieron el elemento artístico de las líneas y si era posible dibujar sin mirar. Desafiamos la idea y creamos retratos de contorno ciego.
Quitar la capacidad de mirar su dibujo abre todo un mundo de desafíos, apertura y juego.
WHAT IS A BLIND CONTOUR DRAWING?
Blind contour drawing is a drawing exercise, where an artist draws the contour (or outline) of a subject without looking at the paper.
ART CREATION GUIDANCE
Materials:
Pencil
Mirror/Computer camera
Paper
To begin, draw a simple self-portrait - how did you start drawing it? Where did you start? Do you think it will be the same when you stop looking at your paper?
Using a sharpened pencil now begin drawing your self-portrait without looking at the paper.
Remember: In order for this to be a continuous blind line drawing, your pencil cannot lift off the paper and you cannot look at the paper until the drawing is complete.
Challenge- draw more than one portrait
Fill with color - this can be the drawing as well as the background. *
Sign your art
*Artist chose coloring materials.
GUÍA DE CREACIÓN DE ARTE
Materiales:
Lápiz
Espejo / cámara de computadora
Papel
Para empezar, dibuja un autorretrato sencillo: ¿cómo empezaste a dibujarlo? Por donde empezaste ¿Crees que será lo mismo cuando dejes de mirar tu papel?
Con un lápiz afilado, comience ahora a dibujar su autorretrato sin mirar el papel.
Recuerde: para que este sea un dibujo continuo de línea ciega, su lápiz no puede despegar el papel y no puede mirar el papel hasta que el dibujo esté completo.
Desafío: dibuja más de un retrato
Rellenar con color: puede ser tanto el dibujo como el fondo. *
*Artist chose coloring materials.
