Wacky witches

You need:

• charcoal
• chalk pastels
• drawing sheet 
• black construction paper
• hairspray

Before

How do you recognize a witch? What animals or things do you associate with a witch? What does an angry witch look like? Think of characteristics like mouth, eyes and eyebrows.

Tell students how to use charcoal. Explain how we make differences in colors. Show how to use an eraser to erase the charcoal lines and a tissue to sweep out the color.

What should you do?

1. Draw the contours of a witch face with charcoal. 
2. Color it with chalk pastel in a cool color. 
3. Draw a mouth, eyes and nose with charcoal. 
4. Add some typical witchy things like a cat, bat, spiderweb etc.
5. Use hairspray to fix the drawing. 
6. Stick the drawing on a black sheet.
