Sand Paper Art

This is a very simple, but very effective way to make a drawing that looks like it came right off the walls of an Egyptian tomb.

Materials:

bulletpiece of coarse sandpaper (we used a 4inch x 6inch (ish) piece, but you could use whatever size you like)
bulletcrayola crayons (just your ordinary crayons).

Instructions:

bulletdraw an Egyptian scene on the sandpaper with crayons (you can see that we made a pyramid landscape)
  
bulletif you draw Egyptian people, remember that they are always drawn as if the body is facing towards you and the head is turned to the side.
  
bulletpress hard on the crayons.
