Textured Creations

Did you know?...
The Great Sphinx of Giza was carved in 2500BC and is a whopping 20m high!

As part of our art lessons this half term we have been busy learning about and experimenting with textures. Last week we created Sphinx collages from rubbings of textures and also learned about The Great Sphinx of Giza at the same time. The Egyptians built sphinx statues to guard important areas such as tombs and temples.

Take a look at our funky Sphinx creations.

Today we had our first lesson in the art room and created some brilliant clay tiles. We experimented with creating textures by using a range of different tools, from forks, spoons and knive, to wire and wooden sticks. We had great fun and had very messy hands!
