Students look into kinesthesia and how music can influence shape. Students learn how to create sculptures from their drawings | MDOD Skull Designs: Students are introduced to the cultural celebration of Mexican Day of the Dead. Students use imagery that they researched to influence their own sugar skull designs. | MDOD Printing: Students use their sugar skull designs (spring 1) to inform a two layer print using poly lino sheets. Students look into how to simplify their original designs ready for printing. | Gaudi Clay: Students use the work of Gaudi and the architecture designed in Barcelona to inform a mosaic clay outcome. Students learn to manipulate clay to create successful 3D outcomes. | Dardik Still Life: Students use the playful work of Helen Dardik to explore drawing from objects. Students are encouraged to blend reality with imagination, learning how to use colour to add more interest, and additional shape to create playful outcomes. Students are encouraged to select media that best suits their style |
