7th Grade Hand Contour Drawings

In this mixed media drawing unit, 7th graders learned about contour drawings (drawings that focus on the basic outlines of an object). We practiced different types of contour drawings using various props, such as manikins, rubber ducks, and soup cans! For our project, each seventh grader created a contour drawing of their hand!

For the background, students were able to experiment with different watercolor techniques. This was fun and messy! Students were able to add salt to their wet watercolor paint, create a watercolor-crayon resist, wet on wet blending, or even use eye droppers to add a splatter effect to their paper. 7th graders were so creative and spontaneous during this portion of the art making process!
