During this lesson, we learned about a Japanese artist who uses contour drawing within his art. This artist may take a drawing of a dinosaur and makes it look like people are sliding down its tail. We got to practice drawing an object to warm us up. For our final project we got to have a big piece of paper and we could draw whatever we wanted, but we had to do it like the artist. I chose to draw a ship inside a glass bottle while tiny people are climbing the flag poles or hanging out in the windows of the lower deck of the ship.
An extension activity for this project would be to have the students draw an object they use in their everyday lives. Then choosing a partner to turn it into a scale contour drawing using people or animals.
