Over the past two weeks in Year 6 we have been designing and making our own Ancient Greek style vases. The children started this learning journey by exploring a range of existing designs and sketching their own interpretations of these in their sketch books. The children then blew up balloons to the appropriate size, based on their design, before beginning to paper mache them with newspaper and PVA glue. Having dried, the children were then able to mixed their own earthy colours to paint them. The children are now designing their decorative patterns and myths that will feature on the outside of their vases. These will hopefully be ready for display next week in the classroom.
