Draw a tree using charcoal and an eraser.

Or maybe you would like to draw something else from your imagination…..? Or perhaps you can see something in the room that you would like to draw, a tea cup, a person, an unusual object, a window?

  1.  Hold the charcoal on its side.
  2. Cover your paper in charcoal.
  3. Use the eraser to make your marks by rubbing away the charcoal.
  4. Experiment and enjoy creating!
  5. Admire your artwork! Now you have the hang of it, perhaps you would like to make another one?
