Contour Drawings

I thought that the process of making my contour drawings allowed me to explore the expressive qualities of line thoroughly. Because we used many different materials we were allowed to try using different techniques and tools to help us express the contour lines of the object in different ways. Between the three tools that we used to create drawings (Pencil, Ink Pen, and Wood Pole), I found the ink pen most comfortable to use because I liked the way I could have control and manipulate the ink into the shape I desire. I was also intrigued by the technique of making an object have a certain feel or emotion, as I have never explored the emotion the viewer feels when he/she sees different lines and line qualities.
