Set Design with Primary Aged Children

By Paula Briggs

This beautifully illustrated resource shares how to explore set design with primary-aged children. Paula Briggs worked with years 3, 4, 5 and 6 children at Bourn Primary Academy to create wonderfully dramatic set designs.

Children first made dynamic and energetic drawings in charcoal and then created imaginative, sculptural sets and scenes in mixed media.

What We Like About This Resource….

“Faith’s work creating sculptures using recycled or discarded plastic is really beautiful, and exceeds expectation of what we might consider scrap plastic being able to do. The processes she uses, particularly with the dancing figures, are all easily accessible to a school setting, with tape, card, wire being relatively inexpensive and simple to use. Delivering an Art project using waste plastic has cross curricular links with other subject areas, particularly PSHE and Geography where children may be learning about the environment and how to protect it” – Tobi, AccessArt.
