Steps:
1

- Move it around until you have the perfect spot to begin your composition.
- Draw the dreamscape around your shape.
- This is your rough drawing.

- Draw the dreamscape using Crayola No-Run Glue.
- Use the rough drawing as a guide.
- Don't worry if your glue drawing changes a little.
- Do not outline the printing plate shape with glue.
- Allow the glue to dry overnight.
3
- Cover the back of the printing plate shape with glue stick.
- Make sure you put lots of glue over the whole surface.
- Press the shape into place and carefully apply pressure to the outer edges.
- Turn the paper over and apply pressure to the entire surface of the shape.
4
- Colour inside the shapes using Crayola Construction Paper Crayons.
- Decide if you want to colour the printing plate shape too.
- Try blending colours, for example,
- Use a light colour and a darker colour.
- First colour in the entire shape with the light colour.
- Then colour some of the darker colour over the light colour.
- Press hard to lay down lots of crayon.
5
- Lightly polish the drawing using a soft tissue.
