The sculpture of Anthony Gormley

This half term we have been looking at self-portraiture focused on the whole body and not just a profile image. We really enjoyed experimenting with making sculptures which were then squashed and remodelled. For some of us we quickly learnt about proportion when our very skinny legs could not support the pelvis! We practised rolling the clay into balls and sausages and compressing smaller pieces with our fingers. We also practised the slip and score technique using tools and water to help ‘glue’ the body pieces together.
