Walking

Animator Ryan Larkin uses an artist's sensibility to illustrate the way people walk. He employs a variety of techniques--line drawing, colour wash, etc.--to catch and reproduce the motion of people afoot. The springing gait of youth, the mincing step of the high-heeled female, the doddering amble of the elderly--all are registered with humour and individuality, to the accompaniment of special sound. Without words.

A creative idea for drama: Have students each perform a different walk. Different people walk different ways depending on their bodies and lifestyle. Observe how people move and walk, do sketches of the movement. Explore how colour and media influence the perception of movement.
