GRAMMAR B

1 | Look at the sculpture made from soap and discuss the questions with a partner. • Have you ever carved anything before? What materials did you use? • What kind of soap sculpture would you like to create? A person, animal or something else? • Would you give it to someone as a present? Why or why not?

2 | Read the text and put the paragraphs in the correct order.
a) Mark where you will put the nose, mouth and eyes on the soap using the tool. Be careful not to press too hard and ask an adult for help if you need any. b) Michelangelo was an Italian sculptor, painter and architect. He used to travel to a place where marble was extracted to choose pieces of marble. He used the pieces to carve his sculptures. Carvings can be made from many different materials, including soap. You can also start carving a piece of art without going anywhere. Just follow the steps below. |
c) Add the details like eyebrows, hair, and cheeks. Try creating happy faces on your soap. Faces can be made in different colours and they can be displayed in the bathroom! Unused soap pieces can be kept for future projects. Don't forget an important detail: the workspace must be left tidy after completing the activity. Have fun being a soap artist! d) Take some soap and plastic modelling tools like an old nail file or a plastic knife. Work on paper so you do not make too much mess. Any sharp tools should be kept away from young children.
