The Program
Program Objective• Educate the students at Otter Lake about the basic
art concepts of line, shape, texture and color.
• Bring these concepts to life through:- Class discussion about past and present artists who emphasize
these concepts in their work- Creative projects that demonstrate these concepts, yet allow
for individual, student expression
Blind Contour Line Drawing(Sample Lesson)
Supplies:• Small sheets of white paper• Pencils• Black Sharpie markers• 2 pieces of masking tape per student• 1 mirror per student
The artist, Alexander Calder, created Contour Line drawings of faces and circus animals using pen and paper and also wire. He would have the wire start at the chin and continuously wind around the shape of the face including the ears to the bottom of the chin. Students should hold their mirrors or set them flat on the table and look only at their image while they draw their face without lifting the pencil off the paper. Suggest that they start from one side of the face, or the top or bottom, and continue around the entire face including the eyes, nose, and mouth. Remember to add glasses, earrings, and anything else unique to their own face. Retrace the pencil line with a black Sharpie.
This project is part of the 5th Grade Line lesson for the month of October.

Calendar• Coordinators should contact their classroom teachers to schedule
dates for projects • Art Room is shared with Music (every third afternoon) and the
White Bear Center if the Arts (blocks of weeks several times a year)
• Please schedule times on the shared calendar and note if class will be held in the Art Room or the Classroom
• Clay dates, glazing, and painting lessons should be held in the Art Room if possible
Tips• When scheduling your projects, allow at least 30 minutes for set up and
30 minutes for clean up and indicate this time on the calendar • Try to make a sample of the project yourself, or have your kids try it
before you present your lesson • If possible, arrange to help or watch another Coordinator present a
lesson. You’ll see things differently and get new ideas• If your projects are wet at the end of class, place them on the drying rack
and walk it to the classroom. Arrange for a student to carefully bring the rack back to the Art Room the following day
• Try your best to leave the room clean for the next class or Extended Day. We are just visitors and want to be able to keep using the Art Room in the future
