Classroom Ideas

Students could attempt to transform their own creative ideas into tangible reality. In the classroom, students can physically experiment with different shapes and texture combinations to find out what gives them the most pleasing effects.

They could draw 2D shapes with a view to transforming them into 3D models in the style of Gaudi. They could go on to realise their ideas using materials such as clay, plaster and modelling clay to sculpt and shape materials into their chosen designs, modifying and making detailed alterations as they work. They could emulate Gaudi’s work by incorporating different and diverse shapes, details and themes into their artwork to create multi-layered designs. This should also encourage and inspire some independent research into Gaudi’s other artwork.
