This week, Year 3 were excited to finally finish our Art topic for this half term. We have been creating sculptures inspired by the artist Wassily Kandinsky.
We began by learning about Art History and exploring who Kandinsky was and how he created his artwork. Before starting our final pieces, we practised using different materials and mediums, learning how they can be combined to create interesting effects.
The children sketched several sculpture ideas, carefully thinking about colour theory and how to use form and space in their designs. They then used these plans to create their final sculptures, showing creativity, problem-solving and imagination.
We are incredibly proud of the finished pieces — check them out below!
Help at home: Use the Art Vocabulary sheet and ask your child to talk about their sculpture. Encourage them to use the vocabulary when describing how their work was inspired by Kandinsky. E.g. I used warm colours inside the shapes I chose. I made sure to create space within the sculpture by leaving gaps between the shapes so each part could be seen clearly.
