4th and 5th grade students were learning how to truly observe an object through blind contour drawing. Students worked in pairs, taking turns being artist and model. The model had to pick a focal point and hold that gaze for 5 minutes, while the artist had to follow the contour lines of the models face, WITHOUT being able to look at their paper. We all had a good laugh looking at our attempts at drawing our friends faces, and had a great discussion about observations and drawing what we see.
