Make an artwork by using an eraser as a drawing tool. After covering a sheet of art paper with charcoal, you will rub out areas to ‘draw’ a person involved in an activity.
You might draw a person:
-
playing football
-
dancing
-
playing netball
-
eating a meal
-
reading.
Experiment with different types of erasers and ways of using them to discover a variety of marks you can make.
