Interestingly, Sophie decided to draw her family (as we all have done as children). She drew her mum, dad and sister in a wide variety of materials such as sand, pencil, crayons and her favourite material, glitter.
She seemed to be drawn to it immediately. She loved the sparkle and would draw her outline in PVA glue and apply glitter, or use one of her many, many glitter glues to create marks. It was interesting to see how she dealt with a fluid material and I loved the quick nature of her drawings with the glitter.
In another piece, she started using sponges to a paint with, creating a broken, block colour mark. I thought that the edge that was created by the porous nature of the sponge was interesting. Again, speed seemed to be key here.
