THIS EDITION’S PROJECT: The Art of Rubbings Our neighborhood is filled with embossed or engraved signs, manhole covers and architecture.
These provide a textured peek into neighborhood and city history and a great opportunity for a quick and easy art project. Step 1: Find a subject for your picture.
Here are some examples: Step 2: Place a piece of paper onto the item you want to transfer.
Then use a crayon, chalk or pencil to gently rub on the paper. You will see the design transfer to the paper. Note: it may help to use the side of your chalk or crayon. Step 3: Paint or color in your rubbing to add to the design. Looking for things to do? www.fun4stlkids.com is a FREE website listing everything there is to do with kids in the St. Louis area!
