Making Activities Project One for Schools without Ceramics Facilities: Assemblages / Abstract Constructions Suitable for Key Stage 2 and up. Overview The project is adaptable for many ages – for younger children, offer a small range of objects, and stick to very simple construction techniques. For older children, the range of objects can be much wider and construction more complicated. The aim of this project is to get the children to develop building skills, and to understand that seemingly separate pieces can be brought together to make one piece of work. Note: The pupils are going to make a 3 dimensional piece of work. Flat pieces of art such as drawings and paintings are 2 dimensional - ie, they only have two dimensions; height and width. An object or a sculpture can be seen from all sides and is 3 dimensional – ie, it has three dimensions; height, width and depth. Most of the work in the exhibition, and ceramics in general, is 3 dimensional. Materials needed: Paper Paints Glue Scrap objects – as many as possible PVA
