Creative and Native Part 2

After a long break from school due to lockdown, we've revisited our Creative and Native inquiry.

Last term, we wanted to make clay sculptures of our birds for the planned school art exhibition, however, that couldn't go ahead for obvious reasons. We decided we still wanted to make our sculptures so we needed to do some planning for this.

Mrs Harris shared some helpful videos with us about clay bird sculpturing. We used our topic books to plan out each step. We needed to look closely at our birds and take notice of their features.



Today we set up our classroom for clay sculpturing. It felt like an art studio while we all molded, scraped, smoothed, and shaped our NZ native birds. Some of us ran into some challenges but we had a can-do attitude and found solutions.




We are looking forward to painting our birds when the clay dries out.
