A Knowledge Organiser that captures the essential knowledge and skills learnt throughout the unit Art and Design, Year 5, Sculpture and 3D: Interactive installation.
This resource is designed to support pupils as they explore installation and interactive art. It introduces key concepts such as atmosphere, scale, concept, and location, encouraging pupils to consider how the setting and mood of an artwork influence the viewer's experience. Through examples like Olafur Eliasson’s The Weather Project and Lorenzo Quinn’s Support – Save Venice from drowning, pupils examine how artists use everyday materials, space, light, and even sound or touch to engage audiences. The organiser also highlights the work of Cai Guo-Qiang, whose installations and performance art reflect on culture, politics, and science, often incorporating explosions. This resource inspires pupils to think beyond traditional sculpture and consider how their creations can transform spaces and provoke interaction.
