Targets 2

Belmont School Hassocks

As a collective group the Grade 6 has come up with the following design idea for their Target project:
6_01 are creating Arrows
6_02 are making Bows
6_03 are designing the Target

The classes are creating three main elements for the final installation. Each item will be an individual sculpture that adds to the final collective work but can also stand alone as an art piece. The Target is a Bull's Eye with twelve different Endangered Animal species floating in front of it. The students want to bring attention to things that we are close to losing because they have been targeted by us in some way. The Arrows will carry wishes towards the Target, wishes such as freedom, peace & safe habitat. The Bows will represent how that wish is sent forth, for example a wish could be launched with good will, freedom of choice, peace or integrity. The overall aim of the Target project for the Grade 6 is to bring an awareness to their audience.

Grade 6, you are doing a great job with your Target project, most of you brought in materials to use on your Bows and Arrows and all of you have made good mock-ups of your concept designs for them. Remember to keep collecting materials that you can use to enhance your design.

For those of you who are working on the Animals, your research has proven to be excellent and it shows in your clay models. While you are painting your models, remember to look at the small details and colour nuances.
