Year 3 have been exploring charcoal in their art lessons, experimenting with different techniques to create a range of tones, textures and marks. They have enjoyed discovering how charcoal can be used to create both bold, dramatic lines and delicate, detailed shading. It has been wonderful to see their creativity and confidence grow as they explored this versatile medium.
