Art Workshop with Sharon Drew

On Monday, 1st March and Wednesday, 3rd of March, Year 6 were very fortunate to work with the Artist Sharon Drew and her husband Mark on a piece of sculpture that would become a permenant fixture in the school.
The topic of the sculpture linked in with the History topic covered in Year 6: World War II. We decided to focus on the theme of Evacuation. As you can see, Sharon and Mark had began preparing the main sculptures beforehand as we only had two days with them. The children helped add facial features, clothes and evacuation tags to the sculptures.
They also made their own mask from clay and mod-roc. The children have thoroughly enjoyed working with Sharon and Mark and are very excited about seeing the final product.... Watch this space!
