Introduction of drawing with Indian ink. On a small piece of paper (5x5 cm) this class first explored the way a pen is working. On a bigger sheet (20x20 cm) they started to draw their house, environment and the roads. Attention is given to start with light scratches to make it possible to change later.

The intensity of the work grows during the process.

In the second workshop children were informed how to be able to continue and to intensify their work.
In different ways it is possible to create nuances on the paper. Through that they can make details and it is also possible to make changes.
The information is available during the whole period the children are drawing.

When the paper is full children usually do not know how to continue, after the second introduction they were able to add more elements  to their drawing.

By the use of extra darkness the shapes are getting more attention.

The involvement of the children to their drawing is remarkable.

The final works will be published in the book THIS IS MY BACKYARD.
