A few shots here of some of the (surprisingly varied!) results my Year 8 students achieved after making their own brushes with natural materials. Set as a homework, I asked the students to construct their brushes using leaves, grass, twigs, feathers, seed pods, flower heads, pebbles etc. One student even brought in a boar's tooth to draw with!
In class, I then gave them ink to explore marks and lines with before photographing the results. Running alongside this in lessons, we are studying Australian Aboriginal Art and using only natural pigments to paint with - coffee, turmeric, tea, beetroot, charcoal and more ink have been used to develop their own designs. I will post the results soon ...
