Artful Learning concept: CHANGE
After viewing and discussing Hokusai’s piece, students worked in small groups to create a tableau. They used their bodies and expressions to recreate a scene. A tableau is a “still shot”. While in the scene, each person in the tableau shared what they were thinking as that character at that time. Photos of their tableaus are on our outside of our classroom. Good tableaus have a variety of action, a point of focus, facial expressions and use of different levels (some kids may sit low, others crouch, and the rest stand tall).
We did three different scenarios:
1-fishermen getting on the boat in the morning with their gear
2-the wave scene
3-what happened after the wave crested? Kid had to infer.
Ask your child to tell you about their three scenes below!
Scene 1: fishermen getting their gear and boats ready for a day of fishing
Scene 2: Reenacting The Great Wave
Scene 3: What happened after the wave came down
