Low relief sculpture: Leaf

(0)
Using nature as inspiration, this sculpture project takes 7-8 weeks to complete and is therefore perfect as a half term project. It can be used for Key Stage 3 or IGCSE/GCSE students. It begins by using a common first-hand resource, leaves, as the design inspiration. The materials used are easy to access and are great for those without a proper sculpture studio. The leaf form is abstracted into a pattern using a variety of simple methods providing options depending on ability level. Process work is highly regarded as a means to scaffold the project and help students see the value in each step. Excellent student work is used to explain each step of the process with completed examples included at the end. A visually impactful PowerPoint which is great for English as an additional language speakers. Included: marking scheme and vocab, worksheets, design criteria and level descriptors.
