People on Tour

Sculpture from the People on Tour trainingSwindon teachers made fabulous full sized sculptures of people as part of a series of training sessions.

The training began with participants making people sculptures out of cardboard, with Yorkshire-based 3D artist Philip Cox.

Teachers attended three more twilight sessions to support their own creativity and classroom practice.

Background

This project was developed as a cluster model, in response to a request for a change in the way that Art and Design CPD is delivered through the Borough network at KS2 and 3.

A variety of different media was explored by the teachers:

  • cardboard sculpture
  • digital photography
  • mixed media (fabric)
  • and cartoon/animation.

Cardboard sculptureThe project was managed by Maggie Harris, an artist/educator, who ensured that the input from the invited professional artists was relevant to Art and Design subject leaders.
