This project will develop students' k/u of sculptural processes by
using Clyde architecture as a starting point to create an original
work of art to win the chance to participate in a presentation to a
local sculptor, local authority personnel and an exhibition at
parents' evening. Final presentations could be presented to a Clyde
developer for judging purposes - learners could get feedback.
Broad Outcomes of learning
• Subject knowledge gained and enhanced e.g. the Expressive
process, learning how to work three-dimensionally, learning how to
create abstract form.
• Develop enterprise and employability skills: application of
knowledge in a real situation by competing with others and by
presenting finished artwork to whole class (selling your sculpture
also relates to selling oneself in an interview
situation).
• Learners have developed enterprising skills identified as 4
capacities of CfE
Relevance to curriculum
• Supports CfE Art, students will work with the visual elements:
line, shape, form and colour
• How this subject knowledge is put into practice in a real
situation by competing for a commission, could also discuss public
art and its relevance to our environment/how do artists make their
money
