This term, Willow class have been learning about the Ancient Greeks. In our previous art lesson, we investigated how the ancient Greeks used pottery to tell stories and depict different scenes from their lives. We looked at the different shapes, patterns and tones used in the pottery to design our own Ancient Greek vase and recorded our observations in our sketchbooks.

Today we used our drawing skills to draw a symmetrical vase, adding patterns and geometrical shapes with black markers. We then added figures and animals of our choice. Look how detailed and individual our vases are! In the next lesson, we will experiment with colour, mixing the appropriate tones for Greek pottery and then adding a colour wash to our vase.
