As the exciting culmination of our Festive Feasts art journey, Year 4 pupils have been busy designing and sculpting some of their favourite foods—using clay! After first experimenting with plasticine to explore shape, texture, and detail, pupils moved on to creating their final clay models independently. They showed fantastic concentration and creativity as they shaped everything from burgers and pizzas to cakes and fruit bowls.

Once their sculptures have fully dried, the children will bring them to life with acrylic paint, adding colour, shading, and fine details to make their foods look even more realistic. The final step will be an evaluation, where pupils reflect on what went well, what they found challenging, and how they might improve their work in the future.

The classroom has been filled with imagination and enthusiasm, and we can’t wait to display their wonderfully sculpted creations. Year 4 should be very proud of their artistic achievements!
