Contour Line Unit: 3 Drawing Lessons
$8.50
This contour line unit includes 3 drawing lessons to teach the basics of drawing to upper middle school and high school art students.
This beginning drawing unit is geared towards upper elementary, middle, and high school art students. I teach it as the first art unit of the year in my Introduction to Art course, it teaches an important technical base for other drawing techniques to build off of.
Teach a well-rounded visual art unit on the contour line using these three drawing-based lesson plans.
