Last week, Year 5 began a new area of learning for Art work – 3D Sculpture. We created tin-foil figures, focusing on lifelike poses; and using paper sculpture techniques to create our impression of a natural landscape (primarily a Nature Garden, emulating the Queen’s Gardens in Central Croydon).
Below are the photos of our efforts… the finished products are suitably neon, very lively and show off some exceptional skills in paper manipulation. Being a huge Origami-nerd, it does my heart proud to see some excellent use of techniques I didn’t realise some of our pupils had!!
Good show, Puffins… next week, back to D&T and thinking about the STALLS we might envisage being used in the Surrey Street Market!
