During the Autumn term the children learnt about the artist Henry Moore.

He was an artist who was commissioned to draw and paint pictures of Britain during WWII. He used a variety of media including pencils, charcoal wax and paints.

His work inspired the children to create their own paintings of life during air raids, underground in the tube station of London. Using a range of techniques that he used, including wax resist and one point perspective.

The children then looked at his sculptures and identified key features about them. They talked about where the light fell on the sculpture and did an observational drawing of it.

The children then created their own clay sculpture of a WWII person, in the style of Henry Moore. Once dry they mixed their own metallic paint to make their sculpture look more authentic.
