Art - Motte and Bailey Castles

For the past few weeks in Art we have been making a Motte and Bailey Castle!

We started with just a piece of wood that was cut into a square which is our base.

We got lots of newspaper, screwed it up into a ball and stuck lots of sellotape on it. It was then painted with various shades of green to create a hill. This will be where the castle stands - on top of the hill.
The base is covered in green tissue paper to look like grass.

We've recently added a fence around the ground area and we also made houses out of wooden blocks. We attached sticks to the roof of the houses to made a roof effect.
