Remove tape to reveal straight, neat lines and edges)  Oil pastels (e.g. Paint a flat area and allow to dry. Apply oil pastels to sections)  Coloured pencil (e.g. Paint a flat area and allow to dry. Apply coloured pencil to sections) ASSESSMENT CRITERIA - EXPLORING A B C D E Uses initiative to Explores a range of Follows learned arts Follows some Uses an art making explore a range of arts making making processes aspects of learned process or skill. arts making processes and skills. and skills. arts making processes and skills. processes and skills.
