Another project we completed while studing Ancient Rome was making relief sculptures. We looked at relief images found on Rome Arches. Afterwards the kids made their own relief images. Using modeling clay, the kids made animal reliefs by rolling out a flat piece of clay, scratching an image into the clay and then pushing the background down to make the image pop. Fairy’s made a mouse, Bug a dragon and Pixie had me help her make a bear. The kids want to paint their reliefs… we just have not had a chance to do that yet.
