Common misconception
Pupils may think that they will need to always use leaves when creating a frottage. Pupils may think frottage involves drawing objects such as leaves.
Frottage involves rubbing over textures, not drawing them. It captures the texture of surfaces rather than depicting them with lines. While leaves are commonly used, frottage can be done with various textured objects like coins or wood.
Equipment
Oil pastels or crayons, leaves and other natural or textured objects.
