# [Makayla Maeding '28 Recreates "Figures Dancing"](https://blog.moravianacademy.org/blog/fourth-graders-extra-credit-stands-out)

Recently, I offered my class an optional extra credit assignment and **Makayla Maeding '28** had a wonderful time using her creativity to recreate, "*Figures Dancing"* by Keith Haring.

Makayla sent me pictures of her work. Check them out below!

Here were the directions from the assignment created by Amanda Malone:

**Figures Dancing with lines and angles \*Extra Credit\***

Use the painting, Figures Dancing by Keith Haring as your inspiration

1. Trace yourself in a “dance move” on large paper or using side walk chalk outside.

2. Fill the inside of your body with words to describe yourself - fill the SPACE!

3. Fill the outside of your body with different types of LINES and ANGLES!

4. Take a picture. Record what you did. Share with your favorite teacher! :)
