Our Greek vases

 

We first made the structure of the vase with a balloon and thick card.

Next we did a few layers of papier mâché.

And a final layer of white tissue paper.

Then we each mixed orange, red and brown paint until we created a colour that we liked.

Once the paint had dried we were able to draw patterns on our vases, inspired by the real Greek vases we had seen.

Finally, we represented a Greek Legend we had read by drawing a scene from the story on each side of the vase. We are so pleased with the final result.
