The project for the next two classes consisted of doing a drawing inside a drawn rectangle on a regular 8.5 X 11 sheet of paper. I had cut out all kinds of flowers and animals/birds for the students to use as inspiration for their drawing they would do inside the rectangle. I insisted it be a "close-up" drawing and that once finished the work wit a pencil, they were to color it in with at least two or three colors using pencil crayons. The purpose for that was to encourage color blending.
Once that was done they were to use a black marker to outline the rectangle and create a design for a border to go around the rectangle. They could chose to leave the border design black and white or add color with the pencil crayons. Once done, I would provide a larger black sheet on which they would glue their drawing. This black sheet of card stock would then act as a frame for their creation.
For our "contour drawing" at the beginning of the class I brought in our sofa cushions. These were a hit. I set up two of them on music stands for them to draw. In no time these pillows were flying around the room. They seemed to be in constant motion. Even disappearing as students began using them as pillows to sleep on at the tables. But, we finally got everything settled down and the drawings began. Here are two examples.
