When my son was younger (and even now as a teen) I
took him to the museum where I worked to look at this sculpture. Even if you
don’t have the opportunity to see this one in person, you can still do this
activity with your child. Use the photos on this page, look in a book or print
out a poster-sized image to use.

Kids’ Art Activity
Walking Man inspires—well, walking. So, the first step
of this art exploration is to become the sculpture:
1. Look
at the sculpture with your child.
2. Ask
your child to tell you what she sees. If she’s not sure where to begin, prompt
her with questions such as:
·
What is this a sculpture of?
·
What do you think the man is doing?
·
How does it look like he’s moving?
3. Stand
like the sculpture. Have your child try to mimic the sculpture’s form.
Walking
On to the Art-Making
Now it’s time to get hands-on and let your child make
her own Walking Man.
1. Tear
a piece of kitchen foil into long strips.
2. Twist,
mash and mold the foil into a thin tube. This will become the sculpture man’s
body and head.
3. Mold
the top of the tube into a head shape. Your child can use her palms to make the
top of it round.
4. Twist
a second piece of foil into another tube to make arms. Have your child wrap
them around the first tube to secure them under the head.
5. Repeat
this process to make another leg. The tube itself is the first leg, so you
child only needs to make one more.
After she’s done sculpting the foil, your child can
move her very own Walking Man, positioning him in different poses. She can get
active and try the poses first. For example, she can stand on one foot with the
other leg stretched out behind her and raise her hands in the air. After she’s
done moving she can bend the foil artwork to match.

ReplyDeleteWe expect that the new LG V30 Phone will be a super success when it launches at the upcoming global event. With the other Smartphone manufacturers going all in to find the proverbial Pandora’s Box when it comes to customer satisfaction, we have developed a wishlist of the features which the LG will supposedly carry. We can also predict that the MWC 2017 will not be the LG V30 showcase after all, as mentioned here.
ReplyDeleteWow! Kids usually don't like visiting exhibitions. I remember how I was a kid and it was super boring. But I think the thing is in the method of observation, not the sculptures. I think it must be interesting to do an "analog" of the sculpture after seen it in the museum. I think it gives more understanding of art to the kids. I think I should include your method in my essay for Rushessay.com
