Good morning Year 6!
Today you will be experimenting with and combining materials and processes to design and make 3D form.
Barbara Hepworth was a British sculptor, who was born in Wakefield, Yorkshire in 1903. She lived through World War 2! She was a leading figure in the international art scene throughout a career spanning five decades.
One of her key works is this sculpture of mother and child:
Mother and Child 1934 Dame Barbara Hepworth 1903-1975
What do you think of this sculpture? How does it make you feel?
Learn more about Barbara Hepworth here: Tate: Who is Barbara Hepworth?
Your task for today: Design a sculpture to represent ‘Lockdown 2020’. You can design it in your Home Learning book and if you have the resources (clay, playdough etc) you could try to make it. Please send in photos of your design or sculpture via the Homework Uploader.
You can tell us about your sculpture/design in the comments 🙂
I look forward to seeing your sculptures!

Good morning!
This will be fun.?
Thank you for being so enthusiastic 🙂
Good morning Mrs!
My design is going to be a picture of our Earth wearing a face mask!
This is to represent that we must all stay clean, positive, and hygienic no matter what.This also represents that we are all in this together!
I will make this by the ‘paper mache’ method.
This will take around a week to do so i will start on it today,take a few photos whilst it is drying,and then once it is ready and painted,i will take the finished photo for the blog,i will keep it forever and then pass it on through the generations so they can remember this historical time 🙂
That sounds wonderful. Please take your time and send me a comment once it is complete so I can search for the uploaded photo and share it on here 🙂
Can’t wait to see it!
Morning Mrs Avdiu,
I am going to make a sculpture out of paper mache. I will send you a photo of how the sculpture looks like when its drying and when I paint it.
Can’t wait to see! Send me a comment once you have sent both photos in and I will have a look for them in the uploaded photos to share on here.
I cant wait to see how mine looks aswell!
Ok!
Good morning miss Avidu?!!
My sculpture is of the Famous sculptures around England wearing a mask. I will make my sculpture out of Play dough. I shall do this with my sister Rosa. This will be done after I have finished English and Maths. This will be very fun and I am looking forward to seeing my final Product.
I shall send the pictures on to the blog when I am done.
Wow! I can’t wait to see it. Please send a comment to let me know once the photo is uploaded so I can have a look and post it on here 🙂
I love your sculpture Eliza!
I really like this sculpture because I find it very interesting.It makes me wonder and feel unique for the design is unique and the real design of what it was meant to be is meaningful.
Thank you for sharing your insight Jade 🙂
This will be fun!
Yay 🙂
Hello Everyone,
I will be making a piece of art to show that during lockdown, we were stuck inside like if we were in prison. All that happened during lockdown e.g. social distancing, stay at home and especially not seeing friends made us feel imprisoned.
I will send a picture when I am done. I can’t wait to see how my art ends up.
Can’t wait to see it! Thankfully, unlike prison, we were with our families 🙂
I look forward to seeing it! Unlike prison though, we were thankfully with our families 🙂
Thank you Jade for sending in your sculpture – I have shared a photo of it on the blog. I have to say I was very moved by the nurse holding up the world – we definitely owe a lot to our wonderful health care workers.
