Barbara Hepworth - tools for clay

Please check out my shop as this lesson follows on from the moulding clay lesson.

This revisits the key facts - birth/ death, where she was born, what type of artist she was, what a sculpture is and a key quote for the children to learn.

this looks at two key sculptures and a discussion is needed of each one - monolith - empyrean and sphere with inner form

The tools are then looked at and what they are used for.

Children then experiment cutting clay with the tools.
