Year 2 She sells Sea Shells

Date: 24th Mar 2022 @ 4:14pm

Today, Year 2 participated in the whole School Art Day with the theme of Blackpool. Our task was to explore different shells and the patterns they have. We all cut out images of shells that we liked and also drew a variety of shells over a two page spread to generate a bank of ideas to inspire our own shell creation. In the afternoon, we practiced making a shell shape and pattern out of plasticine before creating our final design and then making our final product out of clay. We quickly realised it was much harder to mould and shape the clay in comparison to the plasticine as it is harder and was drying quickly in the warm classroom. Despite it being difficult the children were very resilient and showed great perseverance to finish their shells. Miss Duckworth and Miss Hooson were impressed with their creations!
