Bring art off the canvas and into three dimensions with our sculpture teaching materials for KS2 children. We have sculpture PowerPoints, sculptor fact files, activities and unit planning overviews for pupils aged 7-11.

We will learn how clay can be used as a medium for sculpture and will explore free modelling. We will view art works and use ideas from these to inform our own making. We will learn how to add details by joining pieces of clay together and we will evaluate our work.
