Clay Art

                       Term 2 Week 5

In Week 5 we made clay art wall hangings that relate to Maori or our family.We used air dry modelling clay, and we used our hands to warm up and soften the clay,so it would be easier to work with. Once the clay was soft enough, we started to mold the clay using Popsicle-like sticks to make patterns in the clay and to get a smoother finish.It took a week for the clay to fully harden. Any sooner the clay would crack and become weak and it would be hard for it to be hung.
