In Year 2, the children:

• Drew animals from different viewpoints using realistic animal models
• Made collages of animals in a scene
• Created animals out of air-drying clay
• Drew how they made their models.

They learnt how to make fantastic, characterful animals out of clay, by:

• Rolling, pulling and pushing the clay; joining pieces of clay and making marks into the surface of the clay.
• Adding a glaze to their models to make them shiny.

The children also watched a video of the artist Augusta Savage, creating an antelope out of clay (You can find the video, and read about Augusta Savage, by clicking HERE)
