Year Four had a very creative day today as they studied their new art topic “Statues, Statuettes and Figurines”, which links in with our Summer topic of “Ancient Civilisations”.This project teaches children about the 3-D representation of the human form.
They first studied various portraits of the human form and then, using our little mannequins as a base, drew their own figure drawings in various poses, then added shape and detail. They studied examples of statuettes from ancient civilisations, and then used their clay skills to create a 3D Sumer-style figurine.
