Shoe Contour Line Drawings

Students in Middle and High School are learning about contour line.  They were required to draw the outer shape of the object and then go back and fill in all the details...harder than it seems and the results were quite successful.  Students were working from a photograph or from their own shoe.

We discussed Emphasis and what it means in art as well as various ways you can do this in art. Homework was assigned to add emphasis to their shoe using color, pattern, and rhythm. Students can do this using radiating lines around their shoe, angled line backgrounds, etc.  I have added examples at the bottom of the page.  Enjoy!

Sorry this one is a bit blurry but it was had such detail that I wanted to include it.
