About this video

Peter Lanyon was probably better known as a painter of landscapes but made abstract sculpture while working in the studio of Naum Gabo. The sculpture Construction is now in Tate St Ives and is the subject of this short film by local students.

This is one of a series of four-minute films produced by schools and young people's groups from across the UK about sculpture local to them.
