Year 4 Koalas – Tin foil sculptures

During our art lesson today we learnt about the sculptor Alberto Giacometti.   The children then explored the versatility of tin foil as a material for creating sculptures and came up with a bank of key words for working with tin foil including,  malleable, flexible and scrunchy.  After that the children made an action figure, doing their favourite pose.  Finally, Mrs Pearson used a glue gun to glue their figure onto card and the children drew their figure’s shadow.

The children thoroughly enjoyed this lesson and the finished sculptures are spectacular!
