Project Overload - 4th grade

Fourth Grade is learning about Ancient Greece. I did a power point presentation. We took a test. We have been working on creating Greek Vases. They completed a Greek Vase packet and then drew and colored a Greek Vase with oil pastels. Afterwards they painted over their vases with black paint mixture.Once they are dry they can scratch their designs on the board.

Oh how I love scratch art

Second grade scratch art part 1

 So after we did this project with crayons, we broke out the oil pastels for the next one. They then had to scratch in the zentangled designs we have been practicing

 So after that we moved on to the boards. We use the oil pastels and then painted the black tempera paint over the boards ( a mixture of black tempera paint, liquid starch and dish washing liquid)

 Then we scratch in a simple 3D design I showed them and we practiced for a class period.

Finished art work soon to come!

Scratch art part two

I like the scratch art projects. The students enjoy being able to make their scratchboards. I always do this project in parts. In each part the process gets a little easier.

 I always enjoy the designs the students put down for their first layer.

 This year I used oil pastel instead crayons for the first layer. This worked way better. Oil pastel is more resistant to the paint.

Scratch art

This week my second graders are being their scratch art projects. I like to first give them a little practice before we get into the big project. I give them a few little projects leading up to the big one.
