Adapting AccessArt: Woolly Scarves and Long Sketchbooks

By Tobi Meuwissen

In this activity, inspired by AccessArt resource Using Pastel to Capture Texture, children explored using oil pastels, wax crayons and graphite sticks to create rubbings, capturing the bright colours and woolly textures of scarves, and developing those rubbings into a final concertina sketchbook collage. 

This activity was delivered to a group of five-year-old children and offers many opportunities for adaptation to extend learning for older children. If being used in schools, it will need two 1-hour sessions.

Thank you to the children of West Didsbury CE Primary School who took part in this workshop.
