This week in project week, Year 6 have been looking at Art around the World. The artist they have studied all week is Sayaka Ganz (who is from Japan) and what inspired her to use recycled material as art. They have also researched about Japan’s industry and how Sayaka’s art is helping to sustain their country by people understanding the purpose of ‘upcycling’.
They have also learned that many Japanese people believe in the religion Shinto, this where every object is seen to have a soul and energy, the belief is these objects should be cared for. This is something Sayaka believes in and brings together in her art in an Organic form. She is bringing a new form of energy when upcyling items by creating art for people to enjoy.
6 Red you have been super this week and you have worked so hard producing your sculptures from start to finish. You have worked as a team, listened to each other’s ideas, shown determination and resilience – and didn’t give up even when you found cutting the plastic difficult. Amazing work. We are very proud of you.
I would like you to write a short paragraph about what you enjoyed this week and how you have made progress?
