Shimmer and Shape your Subject
Design, drawing and embossing exercises on lightweight shiny material, subjects can be developed around current class themes. Students will create low-relief pieces, mobiles or sculptures as individual works or as larger public art for the school. Tactile and imaginative, fun, simple or complex, these projects involve scissor-work, colouring, bending, folding, piercing, threading and assembly. Pre-cut shapes will be provided for the very young; the project will become more complex for older students. Makes an excellent project for whole school participation during a residency.
