My movement teacher, Mrs. Norkus
In my school, I am currently taking a fine art called Movement. Movement is a great class that helps me relax and increases my spatial awareness. One of my favorite parts of movement is when we take a walkabout. We usually take walkabouts when the weather is nice and when movement is the last class of the day. During a walkabout, we walk outside and do stretches. After we do all our stretches, we use the remaining time to play on the playground. I like walkabouts because it refreshes my brain after a long day of school.
Another thing I enjoy about movement is when we play wax museum. In wax museum, one person is the night guard and everyone else are statues. The night guard tries to catch the statues moving while the statues try to move without being caught. When we play wax museum, we have to be aware of where the night guard is and which way they are facing. Wax museum is a fun game to play that increases our perception of the world.
Overall, movement is one of the best fine arts that I have taken. It makes me more sure of my body and is an energizing break from school work.
After reading your blog, I wish I could attend one of your movement classes, I feel related to what you are saying. When I was at school, I loved my movement class and I think I still need it to improve my spatial awareness.
David,
It is fun to hear about Movement class and makes me wish I was in the class! You are absolutely right about needing breaks from school work. We all need that and getting our bodies moving is such a healthy way to take a break. Night Museum sounds like a super fun game that I wish kids were playing when I was younger.
Keep enjoying!
