nterpreting visual art through dance for 3rd-5th graders
movement metaphors: movement can reflect the details and works of a piece of art depending on its qualities
1. Introduce different drawings/paintings that have different qualities
ex] one in color/black and white
- one with sharp lines/smooth & curved accents/ pointilism
2. Have students improvise movement based on a painting ot their choosing.
- have them consider all kinds of aspects of the art
3. Then, have kids make their own drawings and emminate it through dance
Role of Teacher: no creative boundaries; guide students through their thinking
- provide hypothetical questions:
What is presented in the art?
What symbols can be derived from the art?
How does the drawing make the feel? How can these feelings be translated into dance improvisation?
