The famous iron men on Crosby beach were scultped by Anthony Gormley. Try to visit to look at the art and how it fits in with its environment. A photograph of you next to an iron man for your sketch book would be fantastic. You will be developing your skills working with clay this term and your inspiration will be a place that is special to you.
