Art has changed over the years for the Zhou dynasty. Now, bronze has been replaced by clay, because it is easier to find, cheaper to buy, and easier to make art with. Although bronze is no longer commonly used in art, they still make art with it for burials and deaths of family members, as long as the family can afford it. Not only is clay taking place of bronze, but a stone known as jade is also flourishing very well. Jade is used to make statues and other monuments.
Bronze still has a use in The Zhou dynasty. Instead of making art with it, they will still make weapons and armour. Bronze is the cheapest ore you can buy, and also one of the strongest that you can use to make armour and weaponry.
The Zhou now uses clay to make pottery, sculptures, bowls, and other things. You can also paint clay which is mainly what gives the clay its artistic traits. Clay is found in lakes. It is made from a combination of mud and water. The clay is found in a liquidy form, which is when sculptures use it so that it can be formed into any shape they wish. Once the clay is left to try, it will harden. After it hardens you can paint the clay.
