Years 5 & 6 Clay Columns
After researching ancient Greek architecture, children focused on the 3 forms of columns: Doric, Ionic and Corinthium. This term's art focus is on using and handling clay. The children have now started their clay journey by making their own column, inspired by the ancient Greeks. As they worked, children were encouraged to reflect on any challenges in order to help themselves with their next clay challenge: making clay pinch pots. Many children found that their perseverance with handling clay really paid off!
