Jen saw Emmanuel Claudais’s work on a Discovery/Science Channel show called “How It’s Made” where he’s done a number of real-time contour pieces as an intro to the final segment of the show. The final ink drawing was harder for them as it felt more permanent and so they wanted it to be careful rather then loose and flowing. The students enjoyed seeing the drawings. We remembered that our comments are descriptive and positive. Finish the drawing with colored pencils only inside the ink lines.Ĭlosing Comments: Conclusion: After clean up we held an art walk in the room to admire each other’s work.

If you accidentally pick the pencil up then put it down in the place where you picked it up and keep going. Keep your pencil or pen always touching the paper as you draw, making one continuous line. We also showed a few of these animated capsules to the kids which are a fascinating example of his art and this technique.Īrt Activity: Creating 4 drawings using the continuous contour technique He has made 52 animated capsules for the Discovery channel’s TV series, “How it’s Made”.

Contour drawings follow the visible edges of a shape. ![]() What is contour? A contour is the line that defines a form or edge – an outline.
