Figures in action - greek pots

Earlier this year, in art lessons with our year 6 students, we explored greek pottery and looked at exquisit artworks such as this:

Panathenaic amphora, ca. 530 B.C.; Archaic

Our students were inspired and eager to make their own vases and pots. Ok, the scale was reduced to their size, and the colours are slightly brighter, but look at how they were able to build a clay pot, apply coloured slip and design silhouettes based in their own figures! (these are examples from Sally Baker's class)
