Tempted by the candy's contour

Who wants candy? You can look but don't eat it... until you are done drawing it, of course! Today we are starting a project that will take a few days. We will be spending a lot of time with candy. Studying its shape, drawing its contours and learning various ways to realistically shade and color our drawings. It should be a lot of fun, but be careful not to drool on your papers! Today each student took two pieces of candy and was required to do a series of five 3”x3” drawings. 1. Blind contour, 2. Contour, 3. Realistic using dots or lines to shade, 4. Open candy – contour and 5. Take a bite contour or crumpled package realistic – using side of pencil to shade. One of each of the five was colored with colored pencils.

Contour – an outline, especially one representing or bounding the shape or form of something.
