This Art and design video guides learners as they begin planning their own memory box sculpture, using a box to contain symbolic and personal objects. Inspired by artists such as Joseph Cornell and Louise Nevelson, learners are encouraged to reflect on their primary school memories and explore different techniques to represent them in three dimensions. They sketch and annotate their ideas, consider materials and prepare to make creative choices during the making process.
This video is part of Kapow’s Art and design resources, which support the Cambridge Primary Art & Design Curriculum Framework (0067). In the Stage 6 Sculpture and 3D: Making memories unit, this lesson develops learners’ ability to plan thoughtfully, reflect meaningfully and express themselves through 3D art.
