Sculptor Teresa Wells in Year 4


On 23rd January Year 4 were very lucky to have a visit from a real sculptor to help with junk modelling as part of our Reduce Reuse Recycle topic. Teresa Wells, whose current exhibition, 'Do You Get The Message' is showing at The Brewhouse Arts Centre in Burton, came to speak to the children about her work. The children were all very interested to see an example of her sculpture, which aims to raise awareness about the complexity of communication in human interaction, as well as reusing and recycling items in her work. The children had brought in various items of recycling, which were then transformed into different 'rooms' containing people communicating in some way, just like Isobel and Cassy's. A selection of the children's sculptures will feature alongside Teresa's work at the Brewhouse exhibition, which runs until 15th February 2014.
