watch the video on this website about how to do a continuous line drawing posted in this padlet and then try doing your own (keep the tips in mind that Ms. Hickey shared in class:  noted the "contour intersection points", notice the "angle" of an incline or decline or turn, make a note when you get very close to another contour edge (contour path) and go slow "like you are watching a bug crawl along the edge/path!"
YOUR CHALLENGE IS TO DO A "5 MINUTE TIMED" CONTINUOUS LINE DRAWING AND POST HERE....and if you want to improve, do a second 5 minute drawing right after doing the first one  (and then a third!...you'll be adding to all of your observations!) IT IS ALWAYS BEST TO DO IT FROM DIRECT OBSERVATION, WITH THE OBJECTS INFRONT OF YOU, BUT YOU CAN APPLY THE TECHNIQUE TO OBSERVING A QUALITY PHOTO AS WELL

What is the Continuous Line Drawing Exercise, and When to Use it.

The Continuous Line Drawing Exercise is a perfect exercise to use with all ages of children, from 5 years and upwards.

This exercise helps children slow down their looking and then helps them coordinate drawing with seeing. It develops observational drawing skills, and also helps children settle and focus.

It can take as little as 5 to 10 minutes.

The drawings will have a particular \"look\" - each a record of how much the child has seen.

Use it before another art project as a \"transition\" exercise, or use it on a regular basis to improve drawing skills.

You Will Need:

Sheet of paper for each child.

A handwriting pen or sharp pencil.

An object to draw near each child, such as a shell, feather, leaf etc.

Summary of the Exercise:

Invite the children to stay quiet and concentrate.

Ask them to looks slowly at the object, letting their eye travel along it\'s surfaces.

As they look, invite them to move their pencil or pen at the same speed, making a drawing in one continuous line.

Ask the children to keep looking/drawing until you say time is up.
