YEAR 8: ART

Clay Chessboard Busts

Art Caricature / Status in Society 

We have studied caricatures to learn to draw and sculpt people that hold different power in society. We have used caricatures to exagerrate facial featuers and hairstyles in our drawings and sculptures. Students learnt different sculpting techniques to produce their chosen person / hairstyle in society. Students first learnt how to manipulate clay into simple forms, slowly making them into facial features that are more difficult and realistic. These sculptures are almost finished, we will spend only one more lesson or two to get them ready to be fired in the kiln!
