World Class Sculpture!

Class 3 have been gaining inspiration from a world class source this week. We were lucky enough to visit Harewood to see the new sculptures by Antony Gormley. The two pieces, named 'Two States' are the latest work by the sculptor that created the Angel of the North.

The class were treated to an interactive workshop designed by the learning team at Harewood led by Anna Wiseman. Anna allowed us exclusive access to the Terrace Gallery to see the sculptures.

Due to photographic restrictions we can not show you any pictures of our visit. Luckily our Class 3 artists have created pen and ink drawings inspired by the work they saw.

This drawing by Alana shows the blocks of rusted iron that Antony Gormley used to build his sculptures.
When we returned to school we were all very keen to produce some art work of our own. We used collage, clay and ink to make our own pieces.

This is Luke's work; you can see the strong lines and angles used by Gormley.

Eve has also used the pen and ink to show the strong shapes she saw in the sculptures.

The children really enjoyed the workshop. The Learning Team at Harewood had obviously put a great deal of effort into designing the session for us.

Look out for more Gormley inspired scultpure work coming soon! Or pop in to Class 3 to see our work in progress.
