"I would advise young artists to paint as they can, as long as they can, without being afraid of painting badly." - Claude Monet

This term in year 4 the artists learnt about sculpture and the many ways you can do sculpture.

We learnt about Magdalena Odundo and tried to recreate some of the 2D shapes used in her sculpture to create vases, we used different colour soft pastels in black paper for contrast.

Year 4 artists also learnt about Barbara Hepworth a British artist and Sculptor, we had a go at sculpting soap bars , this was proven to be tricky but so much fun and the classroom smelt amazing for days!

Looking at sculpture and the ways it can be made we had a go at modelling wire to create our own sculpture, this has given the children a variety of mediums to explore sculpturing with. Many sculptures can be made from found objects and reused materials too.
