How To:

Year 2

  • Integrated into the classroom theme of "Greece," students began learning about Greek Vessels.
  • Look at a range of vessel shapes and designs on artworks from books, posters, visiting an antiquities collector.
  • Design a vessel, adding shape, patterns and line work.
  • Use a soft drink bottle as a base
  • A PVA and water mixture was applied to newspaper pieces and layers were built up to form a solid shape.
  • Scrunched newspaper was added to form handles and stiffened with paper mache techniques.
  • Smooth layers of litho over the vessel and then add Chromacryl paint and permanent marker to finish the design.
