People from different times and places have created human figures in clay. Look at some of these figures and consider:
- What do you know about the figure? What do you see that makes you think that?
- How did the artist show the interests of the figure?
- What did the artist do to make the figure visually interesting?
- For whom might this artwork be special?
If you were to create a self-portrait in clay, what clues would you add to tell others about yourself? What special object might you include?
