Roman Architecture And Clay Making

Today we looked at some ideas for our clay artwork. We will focus on an aspect of Roman Architecture such as: A partial replica of the Colliseum A series of arches An Ornate Column Features of these include Keystones, Voussoirs and Buttressing **** These will be really important when you begin to construct your structure with clay, so that it stands upright and strong**** Here is a link to an excellent powerpoint that might help with some construction ideas http://architecture.pppst.com/roman.html Lets get creative.....
