Throughout the past few weeks, Ms Fairweather’s Year 8 Art class have been learning about a drawing technique called continuous line – this technique requires students to draw with one continuous line or stroke using a drawing tool, without lifting it from the page.
Students began drawing portraits of their peers by applying continuous line. Students then had the challenge of applying this same technique using only a single length of wire.
Students use a portrait printed from the internet to help them recreate the contours of the face in wire. The wire sculptures are still a work in progress and students will paint the bases and embellish them with their choice of flowers and/or shells.
