The 6th grade has been leanring about gesture drawing. On Thursday of last week, the students got to read about gesture drawing and then we able to model in front of the class and draw in that style. It was a lot of fun as we had students stand on a table and pose for 45 seconds in front of the class.
The 6th grade learned that gesture drawing is quick, has very little details, shows a body in a pose, and uses broad swift strokes. After practicing gesture drawing, the students then went on a magazine hunt. In the magazines the students had to find one figure in motion and cut it out. After they cut it out, they had to redraw the body in motion, using the gesture drawing skills they just practiced and then the value scales they learned to color in the bodies. The results have been awesome!
