Crayon and Oil Pastel

-

Description-
We did a scratch art project with a snowy theme. First we drew our project onto a piece of paper. I drew a snowman and some kids sledding in the back to show depth. Then, we traced our drawing onto the scratch art sheet. After that I took the paper off and drew directly onto the scratch art.

Extension activity- 
An extension activity for this project could be using these sheets to have the students do math problems. It would be a fun and engaging way for them to work on their math skills. It is different so the students would automatically be excited to use it.

                                        Description - The topic of this project was printmaking and this was the lesson I taught. To begin this project the student colored in a circle from the inside out to create the background. Next they drew a design on a small piece of paper. Next they taped their paper to a small Styrofoam piece of paper and began to trace over it. Then they took off the paper and traced over their lines on the Styrofoam again.

Description :  This project was inspired by Vincent van Goghs Starry Night. I glued tissue paper onto a black piece of construction paper. I got to glue the paper however I wanted to so I could create a picture that resembled Starry Night. Then once the glue had dried I cut out a setting that I wanted to place in front of my sky. I cut the setting out of more black construction paper and glued it on. I chose the snowy mountains because the colors of tissue paper I chose reminded me of the Northern Lights. I felt like mountains would be fitting for that setting. Finally, I colored white lines using an oil pastel to show movement. I also colored the tops of my mountains to make them look covered in snow.  Another part of this activity was to listen to a presentation about Vincent van Gogh and write three fun facts about him on a slip of paper.  Extension Activity:  A fun extension activity would be have the students write a creative narrative story...
