As part of this half term’s Art unit (Drawing & Painting), we have been experimenting with subtractive drawing. This is where a dark surface is created (we used soft graphite pencils), and then you ‘draw’ using rubbers – effectively subtracting colour from the page. We prepared our surfaces in our sketchbooks and then went outside to the field to draw what we could see. It was really fun drawing in such a different way, although we did end up a bit messy!
