Welcome to The MOORE Class
(Year 6)
Henry Moore is considered the most prominent British sculptor of the 20th century, and his work had a strong influence on contemporary figural sculpture.
Although he was born in Castleford, Yorkshire, he studied at the Leeds School of Art and the Royal College of Art in London. He also trained to be a teacher.
Whilst in London, he painted pictures of the underground stations being used as shelters during WWII.
During the Blitz, he moved with his wife to Perry Green, near Much Hadham. He remained there until he died.
In year 6, we study his art work alongside our history topic of WWII and then focus on his sculptures in art.
In the summer term, we will be visiting his home, which is now part of the Henry Moore Foundation.
