Why this why now
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.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Basic digital tools and equipment
- Photographic skills
- Observational skills
- Composition and how it is used to create dynamic visual outcomes
