We also played with some wooden blocks and tried to put them into the shape we might use for the final sculpture. It was a planning and practicing day.
We all got a small oamaru stone block to practice with, and we set to work. It was hard work, and very dusty, but lots of fun.
We found the limestone was quite easy to carve if you had the right tools. We will keep working with the blocks this week so we can get used to it before we begin the final design.
Ian also brought along some blocks that he had begun to carve so we could see how sculptures take shape. Here is a photo of some carvings that Ian started, based on our ideas so far. Can you tell which one is the mountain, which one is the sea, and which one symbolises Kiwi kids and their bare feet!
