Me: I'll just be a minute.
Translation: I'm just making a sculpture inspired by #ErwinWurm .

Wurm's series of One Minute Sculptures began in the 1990s, using whatever objects, people and settings were nearby. Here, each picture shows off a unique take on the idea. 🍳💡⚽

Following a trip to Tate earlier this year, students from SCHS Art Extended Learning Group created these beautiful ceramic sculptures, inspired by the Henry Moore sculptures they observed during their visit.⁠
