Inspired by Clarice Cliff

Lesson: Art and design

Class: Year 2 Year: 2024 - 2025

In Art, we looked at the work of Clarice Cliff who was a ceramist and designer. She created her art with lots of colour and patterns which we really liked as a class. We practised drawing and painting some of her work. The children decided what pottery they wanted to make and we practised with playdough first. We looked at how to join clay together and how to use tools to make patterns. We tried to remember that we wanted the clay moist as it was better to work with than it being dry. After the children created their own pottery piece, we left it to air dry for several days and then used acyrlics paints to paint it. The children were delighted with what they had created - a very well done! We definitely have some future artists!
