Making Clay Faces





One of our reading Groups read an article about how to make clay faces to hang on a wall. During Term 1 we learnt about drawing portraits so we were able to use this information to make our clay faces. First we rolled the clay into a ball and then flattened it out so it looked like a plate. It was hard work! Finally we pinched and poked the clay to make the hair, eyes, mouth, nose, eyebrows and lashes.
During the holidays our clay faces are being fired in a kiln and we can't wait to see what they will look like when we go back to school.
