Since we have been working on drawing the face for our self portrait rainbow mural, I thought I would teach them how to make the body. I wanted them to observe how the arms and legs bend because of knees and elbows. I did this with first,second, and third grade.
This was the little guide we used. I told them to look at all the details of their little man.
They outlined it with green Crayola markers and painted with water
The older kids had to draw two figures in the foreground and background and overlap them.
They could draw camouflage or an American flag in the background with chalk pastels
i like it - a different approach to figure drawing! thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love it, that you used the little army dudes. I bet the kids loved it too.
ReplyDeletelove that idea!!!
ReplyDeleteSuper fun....now I have to go find some little army men!
ReplyDeleteThis brings back memories of my younger brother, who was obsessed with little green army men for what seemed like years! What a clever way to use them. I love the idea!!
ReplyDeleteI have a class of almost entirely boys. This would be a huge hit!
ReplyDeleteI noticed none of the army men in the drawings are holding guns. Was that an issue at your school? How did you approach this?
