Pupils experience the online workshop in twos and threes on the computer.
Exploring and developing ideas Through investigation of the everyday object in terms of form, function, material, scale, texture etc. This information is prompted and collected via the pupils print-out , which acts as a guided sketch book sheet Investigating and making Pupils are encouraged to think carefully about the materials and processes they might use to transform their object into sculpture, and encouraged to nurture an awareness of how certain materials and processes are suited to certain outcomes Manipulation of materials and discovery of processes is enabled by opening up a wide range of possibilities to the pupils, getting them to brainstorm through methods, be free to invent new solutions for themselves. This sense of ownership and responsibility in what they are doing increases the pupils pride, confidence and interest which in turn leads to successful outcomes. Pupils are encouraged to evaluate their actions, and outcomes, both personally through the pupils print-out, and as a group through class exploration of the sculpture end results.
