About this School Project (Blind Continuous Line Portraits)
This project was designed to allow students to "loosen up" their grip on the art making process. We also discussed how abstract art can often be based on, and related to, real subject matter. In our warm ups, we practiced the blind contour process by drawing the person across from us without looking at our paper and without lifting the pencil or marker from the paper. Warm ups were quick, lasting a mere 30, 15, or 5 seconds per round. The final drawings were created with a similar process and then finished in watercolor, sharpie or color pencil.
