The kindergartners considered the landscape and environment of ancient Egypt with their pyramid dioramas. They painted golden sand, added blue cellophane representing the Nile river and completed the scene with the Great Sphinx of Giza sculpted out of clay

Grecian Urns

Air Dry Clay

​

The Kindergartners visited Ancient Greece and learned about the various vessels used for storing wine, water, and perfume. Using air-dry clay, students sculpted ‘amphorae’, which is a type of urn or vase with two expansive handles joining the shoulder of the body and a long neck. Afterward, students painted the clay vase with decorative geometric patterns.
