Elements & Principles of Design “FORM”

Grade 4 students wrapped up the "FORM" unit, which is an element and principle of design. We try to find projects that give the students a chance to learn about the different elements and principles of design. We found this project on the Tate Kids website in London!

The artist, Sculptor Dame Phyllida Barlow, uses lots of everyday materials for her sculptures. She uses items found around the house like wood and carpet, as well as things you might use to DIY, such as foam, concrete and polystyrene. She often takes her sculptures apart and reuses the pieces to make something new. Our students have taken inspiration from her work, untitled: upturnedhouse2 for our cardboard box sculpture.
