Teacher CPD: Sculpture and Industry – Creativity in the Classroom
Join Sunderland Culture for a FREE teacher CPD event for primary art leads to explore sculpture and industry and learn practical art techniques that can support subjects across the curriculum.
Field for the British Isles by Antony Gormley features 40,000 clay figures made by the community of St Helen’s in the Wirral, then fired in the local brickworks. Responding to this artwork from the Arts Council Collection, artist Sue Loughlin worked with infant and primary schools in Sunderland in summer 2021 to test out a range of sculptural techniques including casting, carving, modelling, constructing and massing artworks to create visual impact.
See the new sculpture and industry classroom resources including Power Points, lesson plans and films and try a couple of techniques to take back to your school.
