In Class 5 we have been busy designing and making Greek vases, pots and plates.
We studied some photographs of some artefacts and discussed common themes.
We noticed that the pots, vases and plates were decorated with the same colours and they mostly had geometric patters bordering paintings of people.
The main image on these artefacts was often of people playing Olympic sports or doing every day jobs, such as collecting water.
We found out more about the Greek pots, vases and plates in our lesson.
Using our knowledge of Greek pottery, we designed our very own versions!
We have now started making them with clay which has been so much fun!
Have a look at some photos of us making our clay pots and check back to see the final products…
I loved making the pots, but it was rather hard 🙂
