Year 3 are learning about rocks and fossils, so for our art lesson this week\u00a0 we studied them in greater detail.\u00a0 First we did a continuous line drawing of our rock or fossil, using a black fine liner.\u00a0 This skill means that the artist does not take their pen off the paper for the whole of the drawing. This was a challenge but the children rose to it well.<\/p>\n

After that, we explored the use of carbon paper to make monoprints.\u00a0 \u00a0The children placed their carbon paper on top of cartridge paper and then tracing paper on top\u00a0 of their carbon paper.\u00a0 Then they carefully drew their rock or fossil onto the tracing paper with a sharp\u00a0pencil. The children were fascinated to see their drawing appear on the cartridge paper…just like magic.<\/p>\n

Not content with that we decided to challenge this even further by rubbing oil pastels onto the ink side of the carbon paper and then repeated the process.\u00a0 The\u00a0results were\u00a0great!<\/p>\n
