A Tableau vivant is when, in real life, you do the same pose as character(s) portrayed in your painting. Strike a similar pose as one of the characters in your painting, hold it for one full minute, then bow to your class. As for the instructions, there's not really a much easier way to say it. Get together with your group, discuss about the profession/trade you'll be depicting in your tableau vivant. then paint/draw people working in that profession/trade. After, just imitate what you drew with your group
