Sunburnt Country Lizards Term: 3 Year: 2006 Year 5 develop lizards in terracotta clay. They used an armature of paper and rolled out clay using the slab technique. Finished shape and decorative elements were created using clay tools. We all worked hard at developing our lizards and using the skills that we have learned about the properties of clay. Adding the appendages of our lizard requires us to use strong joining techniques and careful melding of the clay to ensure that our work holds together. The final decoration needs to be just the right thickness to dry at a safe rate and to survive the high temperatures of our kiln. Carey Grammar Donvale
