5th Grade Figure Drawings

     5th graders used wooden mannequins, as well as their classmates, as models for figure drawing.  In this lesson, students worked on drawing figures, using the correct proportions, using round spheres to show joints, and long, curved cylinder - like shapes to show limbs.  Once the figure drawings were completed, students worked on adding shading to the figures.  Students practiced identifying a light source, and using different shading techniques, such as hatching, cross-hatching, and stippling.
