Maya Stelae Artwork

Maya stelae are monuments that were fashioned by the Maya civilization of ancient Mesoamerica. They consist of an upright slab of stone, sculpted and worked in relief in 1,2 or 4 faces.
Year 6 have recreated their own versions, using layers of cardboard to give a 3-D effect and detail. The children had great fun, and they look very impressive on display in the classroom.

Mayan Jade Carvings

This half term, Year 6 have been looking at the Mayan Empire , in conjunction with our Reading text , The Curse of the Maya.
Their sculptures and carvings were particularly interesting to the children , so in Art lessons, using bars of soap, we carved out our own designs. The results were amazingly creative and the classroom smells really nice too!
