The Friendship Tower by Rachel Scanlon

By Rachel Scanlon

A Project Inspired by the Countries of the World for the Whole School

During May 2014 South Wilford Primary School contracted me to help them plan and deliver a project for arts week, this was based on Countries of the World.

With the onset of the world cup all of the children were interested in discovering more about other nations. The school wanted a three-dimensional sculpture which involved their theme, as well as some training for teachers and whole school involvement.

Which Artists: Faith Bebbington

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.
