Scratch Art


The theme for our scratch art project was the ocean.  Once I chose what animal I would draw, I practiced my drawing on white paper.  Then I used a wooden tool on the scratch paper.  I started by scratching off the outline of my whale.  I went back and added shadows to my whale.  Then I filled in the background with seaweed, fish and a jellyfish.  I made lines for water and created texture in my seaweed.
To extend on this activity, the students could write a story to go along with their ocean scene.  Each student would write a one page story then glue their story and their picture onto construction paper.  The teacher will laminate each students story and combine them to create one big book.
