Class Three- Art Week
15 Jun 2023
This week in Class Three we have begun our Art Week project based on the topic of Sculptures. We have linked this to our previous work on the Ancient Egyptians as during this we learnt about lots of different sculptures the Ancient Egyptians made.
Our project was to create a canopic jar, a jar they would have used in the mummification process to store the body organs.
Firstly the children researched canopic jars and how these were decorated.

Next the children created their own designs. Before they picked their final choice.
We then practised our sculpting skills.
Then we began creating our jars, we began by creating the bottom of the jar. We knew they needed to have thick walls so they would not break once they had dried.
Next we made the lids, looking carefully at our designs.
Next week we will paint and then evaluate our work.
Have a great weekend.
Next week is Hodder week in school and it's PJ day on Thursday.
