Week 4 - Omega Artspace

Week 4 - Feb 10,12

This week at Artspace did a lesson based on movement and one based on art creativity. We introduced a couple songs to get the kids going, including Singing in the Rain and the Shark Song.

The movement lesson stems from the theory of movement analysis by Rudolf Laban. We taught the kids various movements and had them re-enact them in new situations. We followed it up with a game called the Human Machine, where kids had to work together to create a machine using only their bodies. 

For our art creativity lesson we gave the students a paper and had them draw a shape and pass the paper to the next person. Once we had four shapes drawn the students were challenged to create “a day in the life of” story, using the shapes drawn by others in their own drawing. They then took turns presenting their story to the class. They were very creative in their drawing and storytelling and did a great job.
