Clay Art Medals

By Sharon Gale working with KS1 & KS2 students at the Art Cabin

In this three stage resource, students make a circular medal from clay depicting their own profile, look at examples of fun lettering and devise a short, fun or meaningful phrase to paint inside their portrait profile. Clay art medals are a fun way to link class topics with an art activity. Allow enough time to get the clay art medal making completed in one go, I would suggest three + hours. Plan for the painting to be completed at a later date, once the clay has fully dried.
