Exploring Sculptures and using a Growth Mindset- City Gallery Visit

We went to visit the City Gallery to practice being in the Learning Pit!  This week we tackled how to create endomorphic sculptures. These are sculptures that can have open ended meanings and are created by what we see in our environment. 

First we see took a sculpture tour and visited some of the sculptures around the waterfront. We learned about how different artists have used materials, elements and the environment to create their sculptures. Claire and Helen shared all their amazing knowledge to help us learn more about this outdoor art gallery.

Then we learned about endomorphic shapes and how we can use our creativity to form shapes that have volume. We used lots of positive self-talk to help us persevere when creating something so open ended because we didn't know how our shape would look like when we started. 

We told Claire, one of our art teachers, about the Learning Pit and she said she will definitely used that when she does her art as she sometimes gets a bit frustrated, too!

We are really looking forward to going back to the gallery to learn more and keep challenging ourselves in different ways.
