We have had the most amazing day at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. We began the day taking part in a workshop that allowed us to explore our inner artist! We were able to see sculptures that focused on nature and used this idea to create our own sketches. Our drawings needed to incorporate shade, texture and even some leaf rubbings. We then observed Barbara Hepworth’s Family of Man sculpture and created some clay models from our observations. I think we got more clay on ourselves than on our mini sculptures!
The afternoon allowed us to explore the rest of the park. We discovered numerous sculptures by Henry Moore and completed more sketches. Ask your child what their favourite sculpture was? Can they remember any facts about the artists?
