Clay

EYFS and KS1 Art Exhibition

The children had a fantastic time using clay to make pinch pots and tiles. Their patterns were inspired by South African music, a genre that we will be learning about soon in our music lessons.

The children worked very hard on their artwork this year. They have used a range of different techniques such as drawing with HB, 2B and 6B pencils, colour mixing, using tools to make patterns in clay, painting and printing with natural materials.
