\nCaitlin’s City Dance<\/h6>\n
Last week we did more bodies in motion. There’s no end to what we can learn about anatomy and the drama of movement by making art about it.<\/p>\n
This week and next we will be learning from the masters. I encourage everyone to think about their favorite masters and their favorite masterworks. Please encourage the kids to search masters and masterworks to prepare. We will be emulating those works. To get started, I am doing a series of self portraits based on master works.<\/p>\n
