We char coaled, then we erased.
We talked about Emily Carr and looked at some of her work and the ways she drew and painted skies, trees, and totems of the Pacific West Coast First Nations - then we looked at how she painted the space in between the skies, trees and the totems.
I think we are relating the representations of ground and depth to our actions on the page. Charcoal seems to work well for this because of the immediacy it provides us - across modes of working out a representation.
