Introduction to Tableau

Introduction to Tableau

by Lindsay Price

Use this lesson plan to introduce to students the act of making a tableau and apply tableau work in groups.

Students will start by examining the story of a photo and discussing how they could make that photo three dimensional. They are taught the three elements that make an effective tableau, the different spaces and shapes to use in a tableau picture, and how a group must work together. After exploring tableau through exercises, groups are given a tableau assignment to apply what they have learned.
