Art Gallery out reach programme

Today Susie came out to Halswell School to teach the year 3 and 4s how to do a self portrait with charcoal.
Firstly we traced around a photograph and then used willow charcoal sticks and then charcoal pencils to colour in/ shade/ smudge  our pictures.

I'm wondering if there was more charcoal on your hands or on the paper?????

    1. Hi thank you for putting a comment. There was a secret trick for drawing our self portrait. The trick was to draw over your face. Have you done it before?

  2. Hello world
    We hope you like our portraits. We are going to frame them and then we will put photos on the blog.
    We sprayed the pictures with hairspray, why do you think we did that?

    2. ha ha ha no we didnt want them to be sticky.
      We put hairspray on them so the charcoal wouldnt smudge.
