Illustrating Gestures

In this activity, we used transparencies to
draw the expressions of our classmate's
face to create a short story. We used these
transparencies as templates to trace
onto paper with a crayon (with the use
of a light table, or window).
We then used complimentary colors
to create a background, and wrote a short story.
                                              
                                                              Finished gestural drawing

"Miss lady noticed a strange smell.  She went and looked for it.  Miss Lady found it. It was her brother's gym bag."

Extension Activity:
I would have students draw a tree or some nature scene out side, and then have them
try to color it in complimentary colors, making sure to incorporate high contrast.
