Painting our vessels!

This afternoon, Year 6 had the opportunity to paint their Mayan vessels using natural colours – red, white, and black. We painted in traditional Maya style, using tips of our fingers and match stick style tools to etch in patterns and detail. A precise yet creative activity!

How did you find the painting process? If you were to sell your Maya vessel, what would it be used for?

    I found the painting process not that hard as I was concentrating while doing this, so this made my job a whole lot easy to do. My Maya vessel would be used for drinking as I made my vessel with a handle to make it look like a tea cup.

    How did you find the painting process?
    The painting process was alright.
    If you were to sell your Maya vessel, what would it be used for?
    It would be used for putting your flowers in side because I mainly think that it would fit soil and seeds inside, with the design.

    I found the painting process a bit difficult because we couldn’t use paint brushes, if I was to sell my vessel it would be used for drinking water.

    I found it infuriating as it required lots of patience and creativity with art.

      If I was to sell my Mayan vessel it would be used for a vase I suppose what else could it be?It wouldn’t be like a cup or something related to it.It could be a pot but a vase is much more suitable for its design and structure.
