Yr.5 Cardboard Sculptures

In Yr.5 we have been exploring a material that is pretty abundant, free...often overlooked, but one that is extremely versatile and offers all sorts of possibilities - CARDBOARD!
We began by playing with it in as many different ways we could think of and letting our hands and thoughts do the work...twisting, tearing, cutting, peeling, rolling, curling....

They came up with some very interesting and lovely sculptures.
We played 'pass the sculpture' where we'd have to work on something and then pass it on to have your neighbour add to it and change it in some way. This was fun and sometimes surprisingly difficult at first!

We then looked at some buildings and structures by architects and artists  and they created some amazing and very thoughtful ones of their own.
