Get Moving!

Year 3 started their new Get Moving topic by looking at how artists show movement in their work. This week we focused on the photographs of Eadweard Muybridge.

Eadweard Muybridge captured moving images before cinema.

He used a series of cameras controlled by trip wires.

It all started with a bet to prove if a horse had all four hooves off the ground at once when it was racing.

We tried our own moving montage pictures, drawing and cutting out simple outline figures then experimenting with arranging them on our paper to give the illusion of movement. When we were happy we stuck them down.
