Sculpture and 3D: Making memories

This unit teaches pupils to create expressive sculptures and reflect on artistic decisions. Children learn to represent memories through art, using various materials and techniques, and develop skills in planning, creating, and evaluating 3D sculptures. Use this unit hub to inform your medium-term plan and to navigate to related resources.
