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!
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

Our classes are using mannequins in various ways for a showcase in November 2016. I have linked to your great resources on my art blog — https://visualfling.com/2016/10/07/which-way-is-up/
