GestureFocus



=Gestures= Due Wednesday, 9/30
 * If you are not caught up on homeworks at this point please plan on staying after school on Wednesday.**

In preparation for our trip to the Cumberland Fair, please do the following assigment:

Look here for the skinny on [|gesture drawings](there are probably tons of sites; choose another if you would like.) Also read the **Nicolaides** handout (to be returned when you are finished, unless you wish to keep it as a reference).

In this assignment please focus on Gestures, capturing the essence of what a person or animal is **DOING**, the action. 1. Make ten gesture drawings of friends or family or strangers **or animals**, each taking no longer than one minute (time yourself). 2. Make two gesture drawings that you take further, with an **emphasis on proportion** of the person or animal you are drawing, for at least 15 minutes each.


 * **//Please use a blunt pencil or marker.//**
 * **//Use as many pages as you need, but try to fit more than one gesture on each page.//**
