Owls Class have been learning all about 3D sculptures in art this half term. They have learnt about and explored positive & negative space; the works of Sir Anthony Caro, a famous abstract sculptor; different joining methods including tabs, slots, string, glue and more. All of this learning has culminated in a range of abstract 3D sculptures of their own. The pieces are inspired by playground equipment but were to be completed in the abstract style of Sir Anthony Caro.
Thank you to any parents or guardians who supplied us with the 6 tonnes of cardboard we used during the process!
Below are some of the examples of both Anthony Caro's work and the children's masterpieces - see if you can spot the difference!
