With the students of Year 8 we built an articulated manikin made of cartonboard which served as a model for drawing figures in motion. Each student has chosen a pose for his manikin, which could be from front or in profile, and invented a character to “dress up” and paint in an appropriate scenario. Here you will find the sheets to create your manikin!
I’m an Italian art teacher and I'm glad to teach now in a Middle School of North Italy. This blog is a place to share, swap, and explore lessons, educational systems, techniques and creations in other art classrooms around the world.
Thanks SO much for the manekin info. I’m living & teaching in Norway. I lost my old manekin patterns when we moved & have spent far too long searching for the perfect card layout. I find the “art” lessons required here are a tad weird & narrow, so I want to push towards a structured learning rather than copying from text books.
Thanks

Hi Jean! Thanks for your comment! I’m so happy to have followers even from Norway!
I loved this pattern! Several of my middle school students created work using the manikins I put together. I linked to your website from my blog: http://ahrart.blogspot.com/2013/12/gwms-week-27.html

Thanks for your comment and for the link on your blog Abby, I like your work!!
