This term in Visual Arts, Kindergarten students were introduced to sculpture. They learnt that artists create three-dimensional (3D) artworks and explored how sculptures can be made from a variety of materials.
Throughout the term, students experimented with paper, pipe cleaners, recycled and natural materials, clay and Model Magic to create different types of sculptures.
As curious learners, the children investigated how different materials can be shaped, joined and balanced. They asked questions, tried out new techniques and reflected on what worked well. They demonstrated persistence and problem-solving skills as they explored how to bring their creative ideas to life.
In the final weeks, they worked on a culminating project, making a clay pinch pot for a bird’s nest and then carefully planning and sculpting a bird of their own design. Each bird is unique, showing the students’ creativity and individual style.
In Week 10, students will learn about exhibiting artworks, setting up their birds and nests for display to their classmates. Kindergarten have loved discovering the world of sculpture and celebrating their growth as young artists.
