Greek Vase Chalk Drawings– 4th/5th Grade

The chalk drawing features four colorful, geometric-patterned containers placed on a blue surface against a green background.

The fourth/fifth graders have been working on some lovely Greek vase chalk drawings.  We learned about overlap, proportion and shadows, as well as how to use and blend chalk pastels.  This class studies Greek history in their social studies class.  The students also had the chance to make little pots out of clay or sculpey.  Sculpey does not work so well for coiled pots.  Have you found that?

Drawn pottery on display: a large bowl, vases, and slender bottles with geometric and wavy patterns against a yellow background, resembling Greek vase designs.

Four decorative vases and a chalice with intricate designs are displayed against a soft pink and violet background.

    Maybe you need to do a mixture of various poly clays to get a better consistency? They are developing new formulas all the time.
