In this pathway children are introduced to what sculpture can be, and invited to explore the work of other sculptors whilst taking a playful and inventive approach to making their own sculptures.

Sculpture –A piece of art that you can touch and see from different angles—it is 3D.

Explore – To try out and play with materials to see what they can do.

Join – To connect two or more materials together.

What is a sculpture?A sculpture is a piece of art you can touch and walk around. It is not flat like a drawing—it is 3D and made by building with different materials.

Why do we play with materials before making something?We play with materials to see what they can do. This helps us get ideas and try new things—even if we don’t know what we’re making at the start.
