Year 8 Visual Arts - Taking Artmaking to the Kitchen with Salt Dough Sculpture

Year 8 Salt Dough Experiments

The main focus of the Year 8 Visual Arts course is ‘Signs and Symbols in Art: What is the meaning of this?’

Some of our Year 8 Students Creations

Through this unit, students are provided with opportunities to explore their own stories and connection to places of personal significance. While the remote learning environment has meant we cannot use clay as we normally would, we have found an excellent substitute with salt dough. They’ve been experimenting with this new medium over the past couple of lessons and are getting ready to bring their final designs to life. We will look at painting these next term and can’t wait to see the results.

If you’re looking for a fun and easy activity in the upcoming holidays, feel free to follow the simple recipe attached.
