To conclude our Science learning on plants, we had an Art day on Friday sculpting flower tiles. Our focus for the tiles was relief sculpture, whereby multiple layers of clay are built upon each other to add depth and texture. We began by designing our tiles on paper and choosing the colours we wanted to use. We then rolled out a square tile of clay, working hard to make it a consistent thickness and as square as possible. It was then time to add detail. We moulded petals and additional details out of new clay and affixed these by scoring the tile and wetting the grooves with slip. Once the tiles had dried, we painted them according to our designs and glazed them with PVA glue to add an extra layer of shine!
