Class 3 Sculptures

As part of our World Sculptures topic in art this term, the children have learnt about the Terracotta army in China.  Our class used clay to create our very own ‘Class 3 army’.

Noah B said: “In art, we have been doing sculpture.  We have made a terracotta army out of clay.  We used slip, a gluey substance made of water and clay, and a group of metal tools.  We also did a lesson about the Moai statues on Easter Island.”

Noah T said: “To attach the head to the body we used slip, it is clay and water to make the texture, we used tools.  Before we made them, we did a lot of research and practised in our sketch books.  We used a variety of tools.
