Lets take a step into Fyling Hall School’s vibrant art studio and discover the creative buzz that’s been brewing! This term, students in Years 5 to 10 have been delving into the world of ceramic sculpture during their art lessons.
Ceramics is always a popular choice here. Each year group’s work is based on a different inspiration.
- Year 5: Inspired by Jae Yong Kim, students are crafting small pinch pot ceramic donuts and cupcakes.
- Year 6: Drawing inspiration from Lesley Anne Greene, Year 6 students are creating small pinch pot animals.
- Year 7: Embracing the spirit of gargoyles, Year 7 students are sculpting large pinch pot monsters.
- Year 8: Inspired by African masks, Year 8 students are fashioning slab-built masks.
- Year 9: Utilizing the Scraffito technique, Year 9 students are crafting slab-built jugs adorned with intricate decorations.
- Year 10: Exploring natural forms, Year 10 students are constructing coil-built vessels. Additionally, they’re engaging in an intriguing project, upcycling charity shop ceramics to explore the impact of color on 3D sculpture.
