This term 6Y looked at the work of artist Louise Nevelson. Louise Nevelson was an assemblage artist from the United States of America.

Our sculpture represents the idea that our cultural identities are complex. We are individuals with our own feelings, thoughts and ideas. We each have unique physical features and styles.  At the same time we are members of small and large groups, communities, and society.

Our boxes contain cultural artefacts that we think represent us. The white represents our shared identity. White is not a skin colour. It is all the colours of the spectrum. For example, we are all students and we are all classmates.  Some of us are members of the same sports team. Others share interests like dance, gaming and eating pasta. Some of us speak the same 2nd language. Some of us have pets. 

I think they did a great job, though if I am honest I could do with a stiff drink about now.
