We are so excited about working with our resident artist Mr Briggs. Yesterday we talked about the different designs we could do and decided that we could already rule out some of our own designs because they wouldn't work in stone.
Our stone carving needs to represent our school for our 150th Jubilee.We want it to show that we are a country school in the city with this marvellous KORU piece of art.
We wanted to represent our values and we wanted to represent Harewood pupils.Our carving is going to show the teacher(big koru)the parent(middle sized koru)and the children(small koru).It will also show that we care for each other.
We gave Mr Briggs our designs and then he took them home to work on our final design.Zoe
Today - Wednesday we saw the final design idea and sketched it on the big stone block.It looks amazing.Mr Briggs managed to include all our ideas.

Room 7 this sculpture looks amazing! How long will it take to be completed? Have you thought about where in the school it might go? There is a plan for developing the lunch area that has been done and I'm sure a space could be made found to put it.
ReplyDeleteWhen is Mr Briggs coming back next?
This is going to look so good when it is finished. It looks very special and meaningful. As soon as Grace showed me the design I new it symbolised Parents, Teachers & children together. Very very Special.
