What activities do you like to do? How do you move during those activities? How can you make a person who looks like they are moving?
In art, a figure is a person. So when we create a drawing of a person, it is called figure drawing.
Artist, Keith Haring is famous for his paintings of figures interacting with one another.
If you want to draw a person that is moving, you need to know where your body bends.
(Identify the places your body bends.)
By changing the positions of these parts of the body, you can make your person look like he or she is moving.
What are some activities you can draw a person doing?
Draw a stick figure. draw dots at the parts of the person that bend.(knees, elbows, waist, hips, shoulders ankles etc.) Draw people in several poses.
Color over the stick figures to add clothes, and the details of the person.
