Lesson Details
Key learning points
- A maquette is a small three-dimensional model used by artists to plan and develop their sculptures.
- Identify and use different joining techniques such as tying, slotting or gluing to build a strong and stable maquette.
Common misconception
A maquette is a finished sculpture, not a model for planning a design.
Remind pupils that building a maquette is an opportunity to test different elements of their design, allowing them to identify areas for improvement. A maquette does not need to be perfect as its purpose is to resolve issues before the final design.
