6th Grade: Scratch Art Engravings #Penntastic

The Scratchy Elk - Caden Reed 2018

For this project students created a scratch art etching using the element of art called texture. Students created a scratchboard by applying several colors of crayon to a heavy weight piece of drawing paper. When finished coloring students covered the surface with a black paint mixed with dish soap. To complete the project students created a drawing on the top of the surface that focuses on texture. The drawing was then etched away with a needle tool to review the color below the surface.
