Contour Line Still Life Drawings - Grade 5

Fifth graders used the iPad app Sketchbook Express to create these drawings.  First they used the iPad to photograph a still life.  Next they carefully traced the contour lines of all the elements in their photo.  Finally, they erased the photo, leaving only their drawing!
