Over the term we have been creating artwork inspired by the painting  'The Finding of Moses' by
Orazio Gentileschi. We carefully studied the painting, taking into consideration the shape and form created by the artist. We discussed what stood out in the painting and the significance of these things. We then decided to focus on the hands of the women in the painting as this was of particular interest. Our sketching skills were developed as we learned to sketch using charcoal and we used our mathematical skills to create optical illusions of hands using Vasarely's artwork as insirpation. Our final piece of artwork was then created using wire sculpture; a difficult process which took lots of resillience!
