Figures in Clay

How To:

Level 1

  • Students created one textured and one face scone from clay.
  • They kneaded the clay, and then formed spheres, which were flattened to create scones.
  • Texture was added on to the two scones.
  • The children randomly applied texture to the surface of the first scone, with the use of various tools such as buttons.
  • The second scone had texture added on. Coils and spheres were used to form the features of the face scones.
  • The fired scones were then painted.
  • A demonstration of the application of paint to the face scone was provided to ensure control and successful application of colour to various features.
  • The students then used the scones to create a three-dimensional collage of one self.
  • These were presented on fun foam and later placed within the students decorated mounts.
