I wanted my Saturday morning kids to stop stressing out about drawing or about making a mistake with their work. We got out some charcoal and pastels and use fluid flowing movements to produce these drawings of ballerinas. They started off using a pencil and went over their work with the charcoal. They practiced with the first drawing then used coarse colour fix paper for their second drawing. They did so well and have removed some of the fear of drawing themselves.
There was not an eraser in sight and learned to let go, they loved getting involved with their hands and became immersed with their work, I could hear their scratchings and flowing movements on the paper and it was joyful!
