Lesson Planning

Create chosen artefact and decorate. Evaluate against design criteria. Please note that the artefacts will need to be left at least overnight before they can be painted, so you will need two separate blocks of time to complete the session.

Teaching Outcomes:

• To encourage close observation of historical artefacts.
• To learn to use art techniques, e.g. sketching with conté crayon, using Modroc.

Children will:

• Create and finish a replica artefact from somewhere across the Islamic ‘world’.

(This activity requires two separate sessions to allow at least one day for drying the artefacts before painting them.)
