Art - Sculpture
Art - Henry Moore & Alberto Giacometti
In Art, Year 6 have been studying sculpture, particularly the human form. They researched two famous artists (Henry Moore and Alberto Giacometti) and compared their work, with a focus on their sculptures. They then designed their own sculptures using their sketching skills and even posed in the positions themselves which were then photographed! The children then created an armature (a framework for a sculpture to be moulded on) out of wire, tin foil and masking tape. Finally, they used modroc (plaster) to create their final piece.
