Saloua Raouda Choucair was a Lebanese painter and sculptor. She thought about Islamic traditions when she made her artworks. She was also inspired by architecture and abstract art. Abstract art doesn't show things like people, objects or landscapes. Abstract art is all about colours, shapes and textures.

She liked to build large artworks that looked like a column or a wall. Why do you think she liked columns and walls?

The artwork above was made out of stone, but here you can try and make your own Choucair-inspired sculpture with homemade play dough.

You will need (per ball of play dough):

• 4 tablespoons of plain flour
• 1 tablespoon of salt
• 4 tablespoons of warm water
• 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
• food colouring
