This five-lesson KS1 Art scheme of work comes with everything you need to get your class learning about and creating sculptures, including slides, plans and printable resources.

Antony Gormley

Encourage your children to describe and share personal responses to the work of Antony Gormley with images of his sculptures, then challenge children to work in pairs or groups to create sculptures using simple shapes.

Henry Moore

In this lesson, children will describe and respond to images of the smooth, simplified human forms of Henry Moore's sculptures, then go on to create Moore-inspired art of their own. If you don't fancy using clay, there's a fantastic alternative activity that encourages children to focus on form and posture to create interesting art with human forms.

Barbara Hepworth

These resources will help your children to describe and personally respond to the simple shapes and space of the sculptures of Barbara Hepworth and Anish Kapoor, before going on to create small, individual sculptures or big, whole class creations inspired by these two artists.

Alexander Calder

The beautiful images and exciting activities included in this set of resources are sure get your children fired up to create their own kinetic sculptures! Children will explore how sculptures can balance and move in different ways before going on to make their own Calder-inspired mobiles or paper spinners.

Dale Chihuly

In this lesson, children will describe and respond to the colourful glass sculptures of Dale Chihuly, before creating their own shiny, brightly-coloured 'glass' sculptures!
