Giant Sculptures!



Some talented children in years 3, 4, and 6 have been looking at the work of Alberto Giacometti. 
He is a famous sculpture who created works such as The Walking Man.


The children have used this as inspiration to create their own sculptures. They worked with Miss Galpin on Friday afternoons to plan and make them. Each sculpture was made using one 4m length of wire that was bent to make a human shape armature. Then large sheets of twisted newspaper were masking taped to the armature.


 After that, several layers of modroc were wrapped around the sculpture. Lastly black and bronze paint was used to finish the reclining man.

These are the finished sculptures:
