Rubbings With Crayon Resist - Collage

Crayon Resist Collage

Suitable for Kindergarten to Third Grade
- students will create a beautiful collage of 

  different textured prints, vibrant colours, 
  and contrasting painted washes

- crayon/oil pastel rubbings are made on 
  paper
- it is followed up with a paint and water 
  wash brushed over the rubbings to 
  create a contrast of colour and art 
  mediums  
  

Materials

- crayons or oil pastels (with paper wrapping removed)
- watercolour paint or paint with a very small amount water - check to see how it covers the 
  rubbing (you should be able to see enough of the rubbing through the paint
- paint brushes
- white art paper
- textured articles (examples - lego, sides of baskets, peg boards, rough surfaces)

Procedure

- remove the paper wrapping from either 
  crayons or oil pastels

- make textured articles available from the 
  classroom, home, nature (leaves)
- after placing the paper on a rough surface, the children use the side of the crayon
  or oil pastel to make the rubbing
- continue to change colours and textures until the page is filled with different sections
- each section should touch another section
- brush the paint over each section, using a different colour paint over the rubbings each 
  time (example - blue over green next to red over yellow)
