This was a fun end of the year project for my fifth graders. They had some great discussions around Keith Haring's artwork and then worked on making a figure sculpture demonstrating motion. The armature was wire and the students created their person step by step along with me. They thought about what action their figure would be doing and bent the wire to recreate the motion. Students used air dry clay for the base. Some made a base that went along with what the figure was doing and others just created a functional base. Each class then finished off their figure in different ways depending on how much time I had left with them. Some left it as a wire figure on clay, some added paper to give their figure clothing, and one class covered the wire with white model magic. Once the model magic was dry, they painted their figure all one color using fluorescent paint. I did not get many photos...I sent them home with the students as soon as they were finished. The first photo shows what the painted figures looked like (made by students of one of my colleagues). Thanks Mike! I had a couple photos of the "clothed" figures.
