active art

Today we had a go at using the card mannequins we made last week to create images of moving/active figures. We simply posed them and drew round them. They've turned out quite well so far.

dynamic images

Following on from our sketches using the mannequins we ended this drawing 'unit' by looking at Futurism. We then had a go at creating our own dynamic images, where, to save time, we drew around the mannequins to produce a picture that had 'movement'. We think we were quite successful - tho' we didn't manage to complete them today.

figure sketches

Y5 sketchbook work. Sketches produced before using the paper mannequins we made, are on the left - the 'after' pics are on the right.

proportions

We made some paper mannequins today to help us get our figure proportions a little more realistic - their previous drawings had the usual large heads/little bodies. We will add detail next time.
