Contour Drawing- Sign Language Alphabet

Fourth Grade Contour Drawings
 
Fourth Graders are learning about CONTOUR drawing (a drawing of an object as though the drawing tool is moving along all the edges and ridges of the form- no shading is used).  They also learned about the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. 
Initially, each student was assigned a sign language letter and created a contour drawing of his or her hand to be assembled to make a collaborative piece sharing a powerful quote by Dr. King. However, we ended up short a few too many letters for the quote to work, so we have some other important words to enjoy instead.
