Materials needed:

  • A3 paper

  • 2B, 4B, 6B and 8B pencils

  • normal eraser or kneadable rubber

  • board to clip the paper on, or an easel

  • viewer (see lesson 7 how to make a viewer if you don't have one)

  • clean, dry hip or shoulder bone of a large animal like a cow

  • handsaw

  • small log with bark

  • spot light

  • table to place the display on

What to do:

  • Arrange the bone, handsaw and wooden log on the table.

  • Draw this display looking at it from the first angle.

  • Use light pencil markings first before you begin shading the darker areas.

  • Use kneadable rubber to highlight where the light falls.

  • Try making the bark on the log look like bark.

  • Draw the same display again but this time change position.

  • Drawing the display from various angles will make your drawing look very different, see examples above... back
