In 2nd grade we have also been focusing on color for the first few weeks of the new semester. For this project students also learned all about contour drawing. A contour drawing is when you draw just the outline or just the edges with no shading. We had a fun day of drawing and learning about continuous contour drawing and the always popular blind contour and blind continuous contour drawing. A continuous drawing is when you do not lift up the pencil from the paper during the whole drawing. A blind drawing is exactly as it sounds, you must look at the subject you are drawing and are not allowed to look at your paper or your drawing until it's finished. After that students created their own contour drawing of a shape and broke apart their paper into many different sections to be painted like a stained glass window effect. They had to choose which part to be warm colors and which part to be cool colors.
