A Knowledge organiser that captures the essential knowledge and skills learnt throughout the now archived unit Art and Design, Year 4, Sculpture.

This resource is designed to support the pupils as they explore different sculptural techniques and materials. It introduces key vocabulary such as composition, geometric pattern, optical effect, wax resist, and upcycle, helping the pupils understand how artists use form, texture, and contrast to create three-dimensional artwork. The pupils will also study the work of sculptors such as El Anatsui, Sokari Douglas Camp, Sam Francis, and Giuseppe Arcimboldo, examining how they use different materials and artistic methods to produce unique sculptures. It is perfect for consolidating essential knowledge and encouraging creativity by allowing the pupils to experiment with various sculptural techniques.
