This week in Art, Year 3 became mini sculptors! We found out about the artist Alberto Giacometti, who was famous for his tall, thin figures that look like they’re caught mid-movement.

We started by practising with pipe cleaners, bending and twisting them into different action poses. Some were doing handstands, others were running, sitting, or even scoring a winning goal!

Once we’d mastered our poses, we created our final sculptures using tin foil. It was amazing to see how a simple material could turn into such expressive figures! Our classroom soon filled with shiny people frozen in action — just like real Giacometti artworks.

Everyone showed fantastic creativity and concentration. Well done, Year 3 — your sculptures are absolutely brilliant!

Mrs Pearson says:
“I’m so proud of Year 3. You challenged yourselves, worked carefully, and your tin foil figures are full of energy and personality. What a super gallery of shiny sculptures!”
