On the surface, everyday life could seem calm and reliably familiar but far below the outer crust, planet Earth tells a story of epic proportions!
Join year 3&4 in celebrating their latest exhibition in #TAG – The Art Gallery at Gayhurst School. Discover children’s creative take on a planet in flux from shifting tectonic plates to active volcanoes. Enjoy artworks which respond to movement and others which capture energy in a frozen sculptural form!
Art activities in each class:
3L – Molten wax plunged into cold water – Exploring sculptural forms
4J – Scaling up using the grid system / crackle painting
3M – Paint pouring / pattern making
4D – Seismograph drawing machines – Experiments in kinetic drawing
3/4M – Mapping contour lines – 3D Volumes
Artworks were inspired by artist Holton Rower, Pascal Smelik, and photographer Luis Manuel Vilariño Lopez, re: his photo of Volcano Geldingadalir for the 2022 Sony World Photography Awards.

It was exciting when I made the first piece [wax sculpture] because I was really proud of myself for creating something I had never done before! – Keira, 3L
“When the hot wax exploded out of the cup, it looked just like a volcano erupting!” Rashan, 3L
“I liked how we approached the project step by step and worked together as a class. It was very interesting.” Haley, 4D
“I think it’s cool how the separate paintings will come together to make one.” Natty, 4J
