Typical situations involve an artist drawing a series of poses taken by a model in a short amount of time, often as little as 10 seconds, or as long as 5 minutes. In order to made the sculpture look like the subject, students will need to follow the Contour/Cross Contour or Gesture Lines of the subject.Ĭontour drawing, is an artistic technique used in the field of art in which the artist sketches the contour of a subject by drawing lines that result in a drawing that is essentially an outline the French word contour meaning, “outline.”Ī cross contour drawing contains parallel lines that run across the surface of an object (or radiate from a central point), such as those that appear on a topographical map or a digital wireframe.Ī gesture drawing is a laying in of the action, form, and pose of a model/figure.
Project Description: Students will be creating 3D Sculptures using wire as the primary medium.
