Lesson Planning

Children start to plan and design their Roman busts, thinking about the features and expression of a soldier in the Roman Army.

Teaching Outcomes:

• To develop ideas for sculpture.
• To continue to develop their understanding of the power of the Roman army and how this was sometimes depicted in their art.

Children will:

• Have recorded their observations about facial expressions to revisit over the next session.
• Have improved their understanding of how clay can be used and the different effects that can be created with clay.
• Appreciate that the style and expression of Roman busts reflects the power and position of the Roman army within Roman culture.
