Charcoal animals

This Art and design video introduces children to drawing with charcoal, one of the oldest art materials. Pupils learn how to scale up their animal sketches, apply charcoal dust to create textured backgrounds, and use charcoal sticks for bold outlines and shading. They complete their prehistoric-style artworks with simple decorative patterns.
