This resource is designed to highlight the Formal Elements of art, while creating a cross contour drawing of a shell. The aim is for students to gain a greater understanding of FORM and SHAPE, through the use of LINE and PATTERN. This activity can be used for Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 learners and is designed to engage students in ‘looking and seeing’ and consciously use the following Formal Elements of art:

  • LINE
  • SHAPE
  • FORM
  • PATTERN

This resource is two PDF files; one with a ghost outline template to support the less able/less confident students, and one without for the more able/gifted and talented students. On the sheet there is the learning objective, a description of what the cross contour technique is, and the task instructions with step-by-step visual examples of how to work through the task. There are also other cross contour shell examples to reference from.

This task is suitable for integration within a scheme, one off lesson, and/or cover session and takes approximately one lesson to complete, if being produced to a high standard. I usually print this resource on A3 cartridge paper and my students work directly onto the sheet, but this can be printed A4 also if desired. It may even be used simply as a reference sheet and the drawing produced directly into sketchbooks or on separate paper, whichever suits your student needs.

I have created some further shell cross contour sheets, and other cross contour tasks of varying subject matter: hands, skulls, apples, octopus, which you may wish to look at in my shop.
