6th Grade Art: Scratch Art Animal Portraits - #Penntastic

The Deer - Tucker Haaksma

Scratch Art Animal Portraits: For this project the students created a scratch art etching using the element of art called texture. To create the scratch board students applied several colors of crayon to a heavy weight piece of drawing paper. When they finished coloring they will 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 focused on texture. The drawing was then etched away with a needle tool to review the color below the surface.
