An instructional art worksheet containing six line study exercises including gestural, contour, and simplified drawings.

Absolutely. For Project 2.1, you need six total drawings: two gestural, two contour, and two simplified line drawings. To score well on the rubric, make them clearly different from one another and show increasing control of each technique. Recommended six drawings Technique Drawing 1 Drawing 2 Gestural line A person sitting/standing in a pose A moving animal, such as a dog or bird Contour line A shoe or sneaker A plant, vase, or household object Simplified line A bicycle or chair A building, room, or landscape How to make each technique look correct 1. Gestural Line Drawing Focus on movement, posture, and overall form. Use quick, flowing lines rather than carefully outlining every edge. Don't worry about making it perfectly realistic. Try overlapping lines to show movement. 2. Contour Line Drawing Carefully follow the visible edges and shapes of the object. Use slower, controlled lines. Avoid shading heavily. Include important interior contours, such as folds, seams, or changes in the object's surface. 3. Simplified Line Drawing Reduce the subject to its most important shapes and lines. Remove unnecessary details. Use clean, confident lines. The finished drawing should still be recognizable even though it is simplified. Presentation checklist For each page: Make the artwork at least 4 × 5 inches. Leave a clean 1-inch border around the artwork. Keep the edges crisp and clean. Experiment with your chosen drawing tool.
