This unit focuses on developing observation skills and mastering contour line drawing techniques. By the end of the unit, students will be able to accurately observe and draw contour lines, distinguishing between drawing from memory and drawing from visual references. The learning path includes exercises like blind contour drawing, modified contour drawing, and the upside-down drawing technique, all aimed at enhancing the artist's ability to see true shapes and edges rather than relying on preconceived symbols. Students will also analyze their own work and progress through various levels of complexity in still life drawing.
