Ancient Greek and Roman Buildings/Décor Relief Carving: a sculpture which is created by carving away material or adding material to the top of a smooth surface. These reliefs rely on a base for support and are a combination of both three dimensional and two dimensional art forms. They were popularly used along the walls of ancient Greek and Roman buildings. INSPIRATION

After your flat tile is created, smooth out any rough spots and begin carving your design. Your design can be of anything- it can be abstract, an animal, block letters, etc. You can add clay to build areas up, and you can also carve away. Timeline: 2 weeks. Projects must be finished by December 18 th at the latest. (see calendar on the art club website) PROJECT DESCRIPTION
