Exercise 4

In the past during my Primary School teaching days, I used most of these techniques with children and also when running workshops for teaching staff, so they were very familiar to me. I also used a number of these techniques when working on the mark-making in Exercise 3. The only technique I have yet to try is fixative transfer. I need to get hold of some fixative and look forward to trying out this technique, plus others I have read about for transferring photographs to paper and fabric.
