Preps - Line Sculptures!

Preps were learning about 3D shapes, so this lesson was perfect for explaining that 3D art has length, width and height! It was also nice to brush up on types of lines ;)

Year 4 Sculptures

Year 4s have finished their sculptures! Phewfff, and just in time for the art show. 

These little creations took roughly 8 weeks to create, giving students time to plan and create their sculptures. Year 4s used recycled materials, plaster, paint and small embellishments. We drew our inspiration from pop art, surrealism and cubism.

Dozens of rolls of tape later... Year 4 Sculptures!

This was a 9 class project and I must admit there were a few bumps in the road but it is all worth it in the end because the kids love their creations. I must also add that I think that this batch of sculptures are the best yet to come out of the art room! 

Year 4s looked at art work based on surrealism, cubism, pop art and characters. Students took 2 classes to plan their art work and expanded their best idea. After planning, it roughly took 2 classes to create the "skeleton" of their sculpture (i want to note that if students wanted a cube, they made it themselves - no boxes or spheres provided!). Students then used modroc instead of papermache to plaster. Students used 2-3 classes to paint and add the finer details to their sculptures! 

PROUD ART TEACHER!
