Withy Butterflies

Art educator Anne-Louise Quinton shares a workshop for making a flock of large, withy butterflies, creating a colourful and dramatic artwork.  Year 9 students of Dixons City Academy explore the potential and limitations of working with materials in 3D and discover the benefits of problem solving design issues together, in this exciting sculpture project. The process can be successfully adapted for a smaller scale outcome.
