!Clay art!

                                                                   Clay art

Three weeks ago we made some Maori designs that lined up with our whanau relationship.

I had made a nice medium sized hook because my great great grandfather Tamati Waka Nene had the exacted same hook that i had created. It had taken a lot of time to think of what features it had on the green-stone. Here is a picture of my creation of the clay art.

I had used a sharp 2b pencil to carve the features of the clay. We used air dry clay to make the creation easy to use. We also used a rolling pin to get the curved edges then used a little bit of water to make it smooth on the sides.

Then we had to wait until the clay dries then we could be able to hang it up on a wall that could be seen every-time you come into the classroom.

This clay art had turned out just as i had wanted it to i love this so so much and i had not given up.
