Web-Based Materials To Support Teaching Art and Design Through The Work Of Antony Gormley
Antony Gormley created sculptures looking at the human body and space. Perhaps the most famous of his pieces is the Angel of the North. His work can be a useful starting point for exploring 3D forms with pupils in Key Stage 3.
A bank of images of sculptures by Gormley are provided in the ‘Sculptures’ section of the website, which pupils can use to evaluate, analyse and draw inspiration from in producing their own ideas. There is a large collection of images in the ‘Drawing’ section of the website that explore the human form and space. These could provide useful starting points for considering ideas for 3D work, encouraging the use of mixed media. By visiting the ‘Resources’ section of the website, it is possible to access text, videos, audio and images of Antony Gormley’s work.
The videos are particularly useful as they show the work within a space from various angles or the steps needed to achieve installation of pieces.
