drawing with an eraserWhat a fun mess this was! Learning how to draw with an eraser helped Ella to visualize the negative space of drawing. We went outside and covered an entire piece of paper with charcoal. Outside is key! This was very messy. Then we each chose an image and used an eraser to draw with. This showed Ella the different shades of light in a drawing, not just the different shades of dark. Our results were by no means masterpieces, but we had fun. Now it’s off to the shower with her and time to hose down the kitchen.
