My 2nd graders are studying the figure and discovering how we move and where we bend. I took them through an exercise where they stand around the room and we bend our joints together. We look at Degas dancers and other dances like breakdancing, irish, tap, jazz, mexican and so on. I then have the kids go cut out pieces for body parts using skin colored papers. As I moved around the room to help with ideas, one student, notorious for making off the wall comments says, "I want to make my dancer holding a bud light!"
