7th grade figure class has been looking at movement and proportion in figures. We worked with gesture drawings, looking at how legs and arms bend, how backs twist and how feet support the body, and tried to make our figures in proportion by making the bodies 6-8 heads tall. Using wire armatures, we created figures in mid-action. Characters are in the middle of a leap, catching a ball, dancing or skiing off a ski jump. Each of these characters are in the air, and so we will display them by hanging them from a string or using wire to balance them in the air, above a base or a stand.
Using paper towels for the body, we are covering them with tissue paper skin and using cloth and twisted paper for clothing.
