Movement Sketches

After watching a video recording of Swan Lake, the children were interested in the ways the ballerinas moved. They printed photographs of their poses from the internet and sketched them using charcoal.

Some of the children have been drawing Ninja Turtles. They use a manikin and their classmates to help them represent moving body parts. After observing their classmates sketch ballerinas they gave it a try, too. Instead of ballerinas, they sketched the poses of their friends and focused on elbows and knees.
