Year 5 have finished making their ‘Lost Thing’ abstract sculptures. The pupil’s work is inspired by: Shaun Tan’s picture book ‘The Lost Thing’; their own observational drawings of natural forms and ‘not so' natural forms; sculptures by the artists Grayson Perry, Sophie Ryder and Henry Moore and their own imaginations.
Pupils made their ‘Lost Thing’ sculptures from clay, adding lost and found objects. They learnt clay techniques; colour theory; practised their painting skills; decorated their sculptures using complementary colours and patterns; presented their work beautifully in their sketchbooks and evaluated it at the end of the project.
The sculpture project ran in parallel with work completed within their English and writing lessons.
