Gesture Drawings

Picture
Throughout the first month of school, the 6th grade classes have been learning about the Element of Art LINE. Our big project using line, was creating animal zentangles in which we used many different types of lines to incorporate pattern into the drawing.  You can check them out on Artsonia here.
We've also discussed the difference between types of lines that you can draw with such as outline, contour, sketch and gesture lines.  Last Friday we spent the class period doing figure drawings.  Various students volunteered to pose throughout the period as the rest of the class drew.  Poses lasted from 30 seconds to 2 minutes.  We started to warm up by doing gesture scribble drawings and then proceeded to regular gestures. The kids always have a lot of fun doing this activity AND they get better at drawing people!

I usually don't send home actual artwork until the end of the semester. Some children never bring it home as it gets left in their locker or even "lost" on the way home.

The decision to cast a sculpture in bronze, for instance, inevitably effects its meaning; the work becomes something different from how it might be if it had been cast in gold or plastic or chocolate, even if everything else about the artwork remains the same.
