Blind Contour Drawings

3rd and 5th graders were inspired by artist, John Bramblitt, and practiced drawing "blind".  This was much harder than he made it look!  Blind contour drawing is great for practicing hand-eye coordination and helps see what we are drawing better. 

Check out our students doing blind contour drawings of their hands:

Children's Museum Halloween Art Contest

This is the 48th year for The Indianapolis Children's Museum to host a Halloween Art Contest.  My students have turned in some AMAZING artwork for this contest!  The theme this year was Vampire Vacation OR A Favorite Halloween Memory.

It might seem a bit early to be drawing Halloween pictures... but with fall around the corner, it will be here before we know it!  

Winners are announced at the end of September. 

Check out a few submissions:

 

Good luck to all the students!!  You're all winners in my book! :)
