Do you know what your senses are? When you touch, smell, see, taste or hear something, you are using one of your senses. A sensory sculpture is a sculpture that uses your senses. You might be able to see it, hear it or smell it! YOU WILL NEED A glass or plastic bottle or a jam jar with a lid Some plasticine or sticky tack to fill the top of the bottle Scissors Tape Water Food colouring To add the ‘sensory’ parts of the sculpture you could choose from many different objects. Here are some ideas: Coloured card, scrap paper or newspaper Tissue paper or crepe paper Fabric (maybe an old sock, scarf or t-shirt that you don’t use anymore and can be cut up) Tin foil or baking parchment Shiny plastic wrappers or sticky-back plastic Baking beads Find the full resource on Tate Kids: www.tate.org.uk/kids/make/sculpture/make-sensory-sculpture

As a young girl Rego spent hours drawing in her playroom at her grandmother’s house. She had a great imagination, and remembers that she was ‘afraid of everything’. Her parents encouraged her to become an artist, so she came to London to study at art school. Rego’s pictures are often inspired by stories – from the traditional folk tales and nursery rhymes she heard her grandmother tell when she was a young girl to books that she has read more recently. Many of her paintings include different characters, and some groups of work tell a story that unfolds over a series of pictures.
