I don't have a digital copy of this lesson, so I'm going to describe the project a little more than usual. With this project, students started off with craft paper that was roughly torn from a big roll. I've seen other teachers use paper grocery bags as well. The students crumple the paper and carefully uncrumple it. They then use an acrylic gloss medium to cover the paper.
The second day of the project, students practice drawing various cave animals from a handout I made. After practicing, they drew their favorite animal on the paper with pencil. The pencil doesn't show up very well, so they immediately go over the pencil lines with black oil pastel to make it show up better.
Some kids worked on the cave "walls" and some worked on the floor instead. |

These are great! Would diluted Elmer's work instead of the medium gloss?
I don't see hey not. I've been doing it without any coating lately. This was a student teacher version and, while it worked well, it was an extra step that wasn't totally necessary.
