We have started our Art unit on sculpture - and it begins with making 2D appear 3D!

What do you think of our early designs? Do they look like you could lift them off the page?

In trying to create a 3D effect we have learned about light & dark, shading, perspective and curvature. Not easy!

 

 

Raft Building at Brockhill Park

Year 4 visited Brockhill Park this month as part of the "Downs on Your Doorstep" scheme. With a focus on science (pond-dipping/classification) and team-building (raft making), all the children had a fantastic time! Our deep thanks to Ranger Kate who valiantly tested all of our rafts at the end of the day!

 

 

Barbara Hepworth Sculptures

Year 4 have moved from design through to first sculpture in their art unit! Our focus study was the work of Barbara Hepworth. How close do you think we got to the form and shape of her work? The whole sculpture, from the soap miniature replica through to the wooden stand it was fixed upon, was our own work - check out our cutting skills as we set-up a workshop under our new canopy to make the stand section! We are only missing a hardhat! We hope you enjoy the short video showing some of the finished pieces.
