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?














It would be used as a cup or a mini food bowl.
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.
When we paint our vessels it was really fun when I did it with my hand and it make me feel like I am one ok the Mayan
