In our art lessons we have been learning about sculpture. Today we looked at the sculptor Henry Moore. Henry Moore made sculptures of humans and human-like figures formed of simple shapes. We used pipe cleaners to make a mannequin, then we posed for each other and moved our mannequins to match the pose. We then sketched our mannequins in our art books, thinking carefully about the shape.
