Water and Rock: Teenagers explore building drawings with graphite and modroc
It’s AccessArt’s belief that art and design, like language, breathes and manifests itself in all subjects and that skills gained by students in the art room, can be drawn upon as tools to explore and understand the surrounding world.
In this resource teenagers look at pieces of chalk and flint and explore the physicality of rocks and geological processes with graphite and plaster.
Graphite and plaster, materials I used in my own practice, are themselves found in the earth and seemed like the perfect medium for exploring these inspiring pieces of flint and chalk and the physicality of rocks.
In this one and a quarter hour long session, teenagers had the opportunity to explore drawing rocks and building drawings with modroc and graphite.

I love the combination of wet plasterboard and water soluble graphite Sheila – resulting in such beautiful tones. Can imagine rich ochres in there too as it develops and then into sculpture? Lots of food for thought thank you!

I love looking at this post and feel inspired to have a go. It looks as if one could feel “at one” as being part of the organic whole. Lovely work.
