This term, KS1 are exploring the work of Antony Gormley, a sculptor known for creating pieces that often focus on the human form. We learned how he uses industrial materials like metal, wood, and concrete to build striking, large-scale sculptures.
To bring these ideas to life, the children became sculptors themselves! Using kits such as LEGO, building blocks, cubes, and straws, they experimented with shapes and structures to design their own interpretations of the human figure. This hands-on activity encouraged creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork—just like real artists.
The results were amazing and we had so much fun!
