Downsizing – Creation time!
Think of a toy or animal that you could use to create an artwork.
Use clay, playdough, Lego or scrunched up paper to sculpt a small-scale version of a toy or a large animal such as an elephant, hippo or horse.
Limit the size to a height of maximum 6cm.
Emphasise features that make this toy or animal unique, such as a toy’s nose or eyes, or an elephant’s trunk and ears.
When dry, paint your sculpture using only one colour as a base adding either black or white dots or stripes using a small paintbrush.
Take a photo of the sculpture next to a similar colour piece of fruit or vegetable to show the difference in scale and proportion of the two objects.
Example artwork
Challenge!
Draw or paint a setting for the animal. Alternatively, you may choose to create a diorama of the setting for the creature using an old box.
