In this STEAM project these three PowerPoint lessons will take you through a series of intriguing processes enabling your children to create some amazing pieces of art - both drawings and sculptures.
To create this 3-dimensional drawing, you will need just a few simple materials - three sticks, three elastic bands, white masking tape, and a bundle of ‘centre cane’.
Project 1 takes the children through the simple process of creating their initial sculpture.
Project 2 uses that sculpture as a template to create some unique drawings.
Project 3 has ideas for combining the two to make further amazing sculptures.
In terms of the NC Art & Design this project will:
- improve mastery of art and design techniques, including drawing, painting and sculpture with a range of materials (KS2)
- increase proficiency in the handling of different materials (KS3)
The Teacher’s Notes give further ideas and advice as to the best materials to use.
Suitable for children in KS2 and KS3.
