6th Grade Figure Drawing from photos
I tried this with 6th grade from an idea I found online. They had so much fun with it.
Materials: 2 papers each, pencil, eraser, black marker, color pencils, photos of people in motion.
I found photos online of people and placed them in plastic protector sleeves and used an expo marker to go step by step drawing simple shapes for each. I started of super slowly and with each one picked up my pace. Here are a few examples of the photos I used and how I broke down the shapes.
We started on a practice paper for the first few, then once everyone understood we switched over to a new piece of paper. We tried to fit 9 drawings. Once the drawings were done we went over them with marker. At the end I let them color in behind each figure with Crayola watercolor pencils, just for fun.
