Calder Contour Portraits


The 5th Graders started the year by doing a unit on contour line. We used Alexander Calder's wire work as our inspriation to take our line "off " the page to create wire self-portraits. We started by doing continuous blind contour drawings of our friends to understand how with wire, everything had to be connected. It was amazing to see the student's personality come through in a media most of them had never used before.
