Year 6 - Art - Totem Poles

 Last half term, the Year 6 students worked hard to create their own totem poles out of clay.

First, the children researched the design of totem poles from the Ancient Maya times and sketched their own. Then, they made their wire frame before finally adding the clay on top. Once the clay was on the wire frame, they used tools to score the clay and created their own slip to smooth the edges. 

Below are some photos of the finished pieces!
