Learning about Yayoi Kusama

Lesson: Art and design

Class: 1O Year: 2023 - 2024

In Art the class have been learning about an artist called, Yayoi Kusama, who enjoyed exploring polka dots in her work.

First, the children decorated a template of a pumpkin using cotton buds and pom poms to make the dots. They then made a 3D pumpkin using strips of paper, using dots to decorate them.

In the next part, the class learnt how to shape and mould plastercine into a pumpkin shape, using tools to make segments in the plastercine. Then they added dots to finish them off.
