What we're great at? -bodies in movement

2nd graders will be making bodies in motion for their 3d construction unit. We begin, as always, with exploration and skill building. This activity asked the children to draw the bodies posed at each table. Children have their own sketchbooks in which they place all their drawings and in addition, label what could the mannequin be doing below each drawing.

4th graders detail their yoga-inspired sculptures after a long discussion about how we use our bodies to communicate meaning.

Students in Mrs. Mathur's class got to detail their clay sculptures today using clay tools. Before we placed our clay bodies into a position, we had a discussion about how the way we hold our bodies communicates meaning. Next week, they will use permanent acrylic to paint their sculptures. During our discussion I showed them a slideshow of various sculptures of people that strongly show some sort of emotion. Children were amazing in their insight in to what emotions these sculptures were trying to communicate.

5" Bodies in Movement Figurines (4th Grade)

Children in 4th Grade have been studying depicting the body in movement, first through drawing and here in 3D. I love the way each one of this has their own personality.
