Description

Pupils will explore sculptural forms, delving into organic and human made forms through 3D art. They will enhance their 3D thinking, source inspiration, and experiment with various materials. Pupils will learn technical techniques, modeling, and construction methods.

This unit introduces pupils to three-dimensional thinking and sculptural techniques, building on their existing 3D knowledge and skills. Exploring biomorphic and human made forms encourages a deeper connection with the world around us. Learning to model, construct, and display 3D sculptures prepares pupils for more advanced art projects, fostering a comprehensive understanding of form, space, and texture. This unit promotes creativity, technical skill, and innovative thinking, crucial for development as versatile artists.
