Welcome to Wiltshire!
In the county of
Wiltshire is the
world-famous
ancient monument
Stonehenge, a
giant circle of
standing stones
that was built
over four
thousand years
ago.
It is also home to Avebury, a
village that sits within a huge
Stone Circle, as well as many
more
Stone Age and Bronze Age
finds.
Design and make an
ancient stone circle
or a
replica of
Stonehenge. Be
creative in the way
you
make your stone
circle
.
Try portraying the stones in different
ways. Ideas include:
•
Silhouette art, using a colour wash for
the background, then black paint or
paper
•
Pencil sketches, focusing on long
shadows
•
Bold, unusual colours
•
Collage – each stone could be a
different pattern…
Much of Wiltshire sits on
chalk, and the county has
chalk figures carved into
the hillsides.
…or how about chalk
carving? Look at
these miniature
trainers!
•
Make a printing
plate of a chalk
figure using
