Cedar Year 2
Spring Term
Our art this half term has been 3D and Sculpture. Using rolling, scrunching and folding in various ways, we have designed some great pieces.
Inspired by artist, Louise Bourgeois and her 1999 towering 30ft high bronze sculpture of a spider, 'Maman' (mummy); the last part of our art unit was to make a class sculpture of a giant spider. We made her from newspaper, masking tape and black and bronze paint. You can see her looking down on us in our library!
We've enjoyed our gymnastics unit in PE this half term. We've explored making shapes, jumps and rolls and trying them out on our large and small apparatus!
