Art Ideas For Rock Art



Rocks with art on them.

A fun art activity for 'Rock Art' is to actually draw some art on a rock! The picture on the left shows the children's ideas of 'rock art'. They have used a variety of Gel pens and flat rocks painted spray painted black.
River rocks are the best to use because they are smooth.
These works of art can then be 'sold' at the school's fair or on a white elephant stall.



Another idea for an art activity (It will take longer!) is to get some limestone blocks, make some 'pigment' out of bricks, using a hammer and oil. Also make black pigment using charcoal and oil.

Because we can no longer access shark's oil (for the liquid) cooking oil is ok.
And because we can no longer access kokowai (the red rock), common brick will suffice.
