Creating a fierce depiction of themselves from clay

Children re-cap all they have learned about the Roman Army. Then they create a Roman bust in relief from clay.

Teaching Outcomes:

• To create a relief model of a ‘fierce’ bust.
• To continue to develop an understanding of the organisation and power of the Roman army and how this was sometimes depicted in their art.

Children will:

• Have used their developing range of techniques to create a relief model of their face based on their learning about Roman sculptures.
• Understand that the difference between Greek and Roman busts reflects the culture of the Roman army and its position in Roman society.

• Outline of bust

• Sketch books
• Clay and tools
• Clay boards
• Plastic bags
