Friday Fun

Thanks for coming by we have a fun one for today. We are going to do some blind contour drawing.

Blind Contour: a line drawing without looking at the paper and keeping the pencil on the paper the whole time.

The point of the blind contour is not to have a pretty drawing but to focus on what you are seeing. It helps to build eye hand coordination and can be silly so you loosen up and have some fun. Remember it’s Friday Fun so don’t worry about the outcome just enjoy the creative process. Here are some things we need before we get started.

Supplies:
pencil (make sure its dark enough) or pen
paper
timmer
*colored pencils or paint (this is optional)

Preparation:
Find a subject to draw. This can be anything you want, just have it ready.
Tape done the paper so it does not move when drawing.

Rules:
Set a timer for 5 - 10 minutes
Do not look at the paper only on the subject (what you are drawing)
Once the pencil touches the paper you cannot remove it until you are done.

Ok let’s get started. Try a few to see how different each one can be. You can even color your drawing when done.
