there are two types of shapes in art: geometric and free form
what type of shape would a gym shoe be?
We will use your gym shoe as a model of what to draw. When we have a model such as this, we call it a "still life"
Down through the ages, artists have been inspired to draw still lifes. Sometimes, it could be a person who poses called a model.
Look at the "contour drawings" of the two models below. Can you understand how these started out with people sitting in two different poses? The artist then draws just the outlines! The details will be filled in later

Our goal now will be to first, just draw the outline of our shoe. Take it off and put it on the desk in front of you, and really look at it like you have never looked at it before!! Now, here is a video of how one student went about recreating her shoe
our goal !
we will make a collage of overlapping gym shoes in contour style.
you will be creating what is called a collage. A collage is a mixture of artistic elements that is pleasing to the eye
