Lesson Summary
You will learn to apply different dynamics (speeds) to a range of actions.
Key Notes
- Move: using different speeds changes the appearance and quality of an action.
- Move: moving slowly or quickly requires control, balance and coordination.
- Think: imagination enables us to apply speed to communicate different moods or ideas.
- Feel: self-belief builds confidence to apply different speeds to our actions.
- Connect: fairness requires us to be aware of others, particularly when moving quickly.
Vocabulary To Learn
- fast: when someone or something moves quickly
- slow: the lack of speed
- speed: how fast or slow we perform an action
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- There are only two speeds, slow and fast.
