Art with Talar - Making Wax Tablets

While preparing for her art class, Talar demonstrates how to make a wax tablet like the ancient Romans used to use.
For this project the children each receive a wax tablet and carefully emboss a design into the beeswax with a wooden stylus. They then gently apply paint over the design and place printing paper over the top and rub, making a reverse print (similar to a woodcut print).
