Gesture Drawings

My fourth graders have been studying the work of Edgar Degas.  After learning how Degas captured movement in his sketches of ballerinas, my students were excited to become models for each other as they drew their own quick gesture drawings in their sketchbooks.  Not sure which they enjoyed more – modeling or sketching!

  1. I have my kids do this too. I think this might be more for my entertainment then anything. They love striking a pose. It looks like your kids are the same:)
