Clay castles galore!

Our art topic this term is all about castles!

On Monday, we studied and talked about some sketches of castles and then had a go at making our own sketches. We didn’t use any rubbers, as we know that mistakes are never really mistakes in art and that it also helps us to become more resilient as artists.

Today we used some air-drying clay to make a relief tile based on a castle. We learnt new vocabulary of ‘imprint’ and ‘relief’. We then watched a little video and filled instructions on how to make our castles. We used the score and slip technique to join clay pieces together.
