Gesture Drawings with the 5th Graders

For our design unit the kids will be designing a poster that encourages movement and healthy exercise to be hung around the school. We first looked at various advertisements and listed key parts we discovered in each ad. These key parts were:

1. logo

2. picture

3. description in small print

4. Headline sentence- Large print

Since our ads will be about moving and exercise we had to practice drawing the body in movement. Each child used their sketchbooks to draw 3-minute quickgesture sketches of their classmates in motion.

Here is a model posing for 3 minutes
