6th Grade

• Visual Art

2
Elements of Art with definitions

• Contour line
• Structural lines
• Cross contour line
• Line design

3
Identify Experience

• Label, list, name, define, relate, recall and use
  art making tools

4
Contour line Defines the outside edge of an
object
5
Cross Contour line Multiple curving lines that
visually warp or flow across the surface terrain
of an object, like topographical mapping
6
Structural lines interior lines that show the
objects unique construction
7
Line design repetitive organic (irregular,
bumpy), and geometric (straight,) lines making
patterns
8
Set up a still life in the center of your
classroom to draw.Using Contour Lines, draw the
variations found on the objects outside
edge.These are still life examples you could set
up to draw.
9

• Physically follow contours with a pencil
  feeling the changes. After developing some muscle
  memory, mimic the contours of objects using cross
  contour line in pen or pencil.

10
Add some cross contour lines. It takes practice
to achieve this. Think of a string or wire
wrapped around the object. Learning to do this
will teach you that shapes have volume that helps
to describe them.
11
Try another contour drawing. This time, use
structural lines to show the interior features of
objects. Identify the curves, bulges and dips of
the objects.
12
Explore Contextualize

• Discover, look at, investigate, experience and
  form ideas

13

• Create a cross contour line drawing of
  curved objects. Emphasize dark (dip) areas by
  making lines closer together and space lines
  further apart to create lightness (bulges).

14

• Experiment with repeatedly changing the
  thickness or thinness of lines in producing 3-D
  cross contour line wrapped illusions

15
Example of contour lines.
16
This a visual illusion is created by thick and
thin lines placing the lines close together in
some areas and farther apart in other areas.
Cataract 3 by the artist Bridget Riley
17
Artist Bridget Riley Is an English painter who
is one of the foremost proponents of op art.
18
In the late 1950s, Riley began to produce works
in a style recognisably her own, a style inspired
by a number of sources.
19
Build Skills Practice

• Apply, construct, demonstrate, illustrate,
  evaluate and practice

20
Provide photos or laminated pictures for the
students to practice drawing cross contour line
(with non-permanent pen) so they appear to curve
around the object. This exercise aids in
improving eye-hand coordination.
21
Show how cross contour lines follow the curve or
structure of objects.
22
This shows how cross contour lines can be
incorporated in a landscape painting.Sunrise,
North Rim Grand Canyon by Mabel Pearl Frazer
23
Mabel Pearl Frazer

• Mabel Pearl Frazer (1887-1981) was born in
  West Jordan, Utah but grew up in Beaver, Utah. 
  She studied with Edwin Evans at the University of
  Utah graduating in 1914.  Further study was in
  New York at the Art Students League, the Art
  Institute of Design.  She returned to the
  University of Utah to teach from 1921 to 1953. 
  

24
This student has used contour lines to define
this landscape.
25
Analyze Integrate

• Compare, contrast, distinguish, examine and
  incorporate

26

• Observe and discuss contour lines in
  topographical maps. How line spacing shows the
  height or steepness of the terrain

27
Lines of topographical help to show the height
of the mountain range. The closer together the
lines are the steeper the mountain.
28
Create a mountain using cross contour line with
line width or spacing making some areas appear
closer to the others.
29
Research Create

• Study, explore, seek, be creative, imagine and
  produce.

Lee Udall Bennion

• Born March 17, 1956, in Merced California,
  Lee Bennion moved to Utah in 1974 to study art at
  Brigham Young University.

31
Lee Udall Bennion

• In 1976, she married ceramicist Joseph
  Bennion and moved to the rural setting of Spring
  City in Sanpete County, Utah.

32
Snow Queen of Adah by Lee Udall BennionIs an
example of how an artist showsthe use of lines
and folds in clothing.
33
Art work by Mary Stephenson Cassatt born in
1844 in Pennsylvania.

• Mary Cassatt was the only American to exhibit
  her work in an exhibit of the original group of
  Impressionist Artists in Paris, including such
  masters as Degas, Renoir and Monet.

34

• Cassatt said, that she "hated conventional
  art" and when invited by Edgar Degas to exhibit
  with this group of independent artists in an
  exhibit of non-academic art she was overjoyed.

35
Study how artists use lines or stripes to show
the folds found in clothing and on the couch.

• Paintings by Mary Cassette

36
Mary Cassatt worked hard for recognition,
female Impressionists were rare, as were American
Impressionists.
37
Explore use of cross contour line by artists and
3D animation modelers in giving volume to
objects without shading.

• Andy Warhol drawing

38
Andy Warhol, The Last Supper It was fun to find
drawings by this artist because his most famous
works are colored pop art, as in the next slide.
39
Andy Warhol

• No other artist is as much identified with Pop
  Art as Andy Warhol. The media called him the
  Prince of Pop. Warhol made his way from a
  Pittsburgh working class family to an American
  legend.

40
Refine Contribute

• Show skill mastery for
• grade level, give
• opinions, support
• others, and show art.

41

• This is a fun and different way to define a
  portrait with line design. Notice how it is done
  in a circular design.

42
Create combinations of cross contour, line design
to define and decorate portraits. Artist
Denise Carter
43
New Bloom by Trevor Southey Notice the
beautiful contour lines defining her hair.
44
Use line work in drawing a self portrait.
45
Portraits can be done in many ways

• Can you see the girls image in the spoon.
• This is a very creative way to do a self
  portrait.

46
Adding color with paint or cut out paper can be
another fun assignment in a self portrait.
47

• Adding one color to a black and white drawing
  may be all the piece needs.

48
Participate in and help hang an exhibit
displaying decorated portraits.
