There's a ghost in my bedroom!

Help, there are ghosts in my bedroom! Behind the wardrobe, under my bed, behind the curtains....

You need:

  1. white drawing paper 
  2. indian ink
  3. dip pen
  4. pencil
  5. paper towel
  6. black paper for background

What should you do? 

  1. Sketch your room with a pencil: bed, wardrobe, toys, window, door. 
  2. Draw ghosts on several places. 
  3. Trace the drawing with indian ink. Leave the ghosts white, and fill the rest of the drawing in with various textures*. 
  4. Paste the drawing on a black sheet.
* Look for a lesson on texture at this link: Exercise in drawing texture

Works of art made by students of grade 5.

  1. Cool idea for Halloween season. Do you have Halloween in the Netherlands? I should know the answer to this I think...

  2. Thanks for your reactions! Yes, we do have Halloween in the Netherlands, but it's just a pale imitation of the way you celebrate it in the USA! We don't celebrate it in schools. Some people organize a Halloween party for themselves, that's it. Stores do their best to let us buy Halloween stuff, but that's just for decoration. We don't know trick and treat, I learned about it from American blogs!
