More art from the end of last year! These are action portraits by very active 1st graders (now 2nd grade). We started by reading and acting out Eric Carle's book From Head to Toe. This got everybody on their feet and moving their body! Then I demonstrated drawing a figure in motion by drawing bent elbows and knees. When students began I encouraged them to stand and make the pose so they could see where their arms and legs bent. Then they drew backgrounds, painted and outlined.
