Mini Food Sculptures in a Triarama




The assignment was to use air dry clay and make food for a feast but in mini size. The students got creative using tools to make textures on the clay to make it look more realistic. Once the clay was dry they painted with acrylic paint then finished it off with a clear sealant. To display the food the 5th and 6th graders made a Triarama with a table surface and a background scene that works with the food being served. The project finished around Christmas time so we got a lot of scenes for that season.
