Getting Creative With Clay

Getting Creative With Clay

In art this week we have had lots of fun manipulating clay to make a dragon eye. We were able to use the skills that we have been learning in art to bring our designs to life. We used a special cutter to create our dragon eye shape base and then carefully looked at our designs to then recreate this in clay. We learnt how to score the clay that we wanted to attach to the base and use water to help us to smooth the clay down to give it a nice finish. We used tools to help us create markings and cut out shapes to add to to our designs.  We were able to add details such as a crest and scales using these techniques. We are really proud of how they have turned out and can't wait to paint them and add in the dragon eye!
