Looking at & Responding to .... Construction ... Looking at Sand Sculpture . . . Handiwork by Carl Jara of Cleveland, Ohioorthgate

This is a wonderful sculpture from the World Championship of Sand Sculpture in British Columbia in Canada.

What do you like about it? It is called Handiwork. Can you suggest any other name for this sculpture?

What do you think the artist is trying to tell us? Are all the hands the same size? How old are these people? Why do you think that? How many people are in this sculpture - count the hands!

Tell us what you think of Carl Jara's sculpture

Task: Visit Harrisand, The World Championship of Sand Sculpture and select your favourite work. Make a drawing of it and send it to us for our Gallery

Have a look at some guidelines on working with sand
