Here are the finished works of 2 classes of 5-11 yr olds. we looked at Romare Beardon's painting/collages and hunted for share in the bodies of his figures. We played the Funny Man group exercise where we each separately draw and cut out a body part and then put a figure together on a bulletin board. This introduced us too the word proportion because our figure was definitely not IN proportion! Then get out the paint and use your big piece of mat board. The exercises may or may not have influenced the paintings -they were a few seeds to scatter. Each artist is at his/her own stage of development, some have solved the problem of drawing a figure many times, some not. The project had 2 stages- paint, then draw another layer with oil pastel and add fabric or buttons. The second stage is another chance to look at your painting and add texture, outline and decide 'Am I finished?'
