"Gesture Figures" 2nd Grade

The second graders have been hard at work creating a painting of 3 human figures. The students used wire to create the shape of a body, and bent the wire into different positions called gestures. They chose 3 different positions and drew them using a contour line (one continuous line that creates a shape). Their 3 figures appeared to be dancing and the movement created rhythm in their painting. They added colored lines around the figures to highlight the rhythm and gestures.
