Art Club were very excited to be able to experiment with clay for the first time today!
They were set the challenge to sculpt in the style of the great Henry Moore. They used the research sheet below and had a go at drawing some sketches in Moore's style, as well as their proposed design, whilst I divided out the clay.
Here's the spectacular results from Art Club...
Henry Moore was an English sculptor and artist. He was best known for his semi-abstract monumental bronze sculptures which are located around the world as public works of art.
Children described his work as, "abstract, smooth, motherly, creative..."

Great to see that the Henry Moore Team love Art Club's sculptures too! Keep up the good work guys!
Once the clay sculptures were dry, children were able to paint. There was no restrictions when it came to colour. Children chose whatever colours they desired to express themselves at that moment in time.
I was fascinated watching the children paint. The colours that they chose changed their sculptures entirely. You were forced to look at them completely differently! :)
