Contour Silhouettes


Single colour silhouettes with close contour lines repeated to fill all the surrounding negative space. They look extra good altogether on the classroom wall. An exercise in patience with a paintbrush. And who would've known I could be so succinct!

  2. Great way for the kids to practice brush control. I agree, they look really cool all displayed together.

  3. Hi Joe, Their control is good. Have you watered the paint down? I tried contour lines with a much younger class using coloured pencils...not too flash. Paint is a better choice. Good to see the obligatory "heart shape' in there.
