Metal Embossing or Repousse

Tremendous effort made by my Year 3s on this project. I was nervous about children cutting themselves on the edges of the metal and thankfully only 1 out of 110 did (and that was because he was being silly). My instructions were for students to fill their whole piece of metal with a design. The background is black construction paper and metallic pencils.

This project really interested the Year 6s and I got a lot of "What?? These were done by Year 3s?"

Impressive!
