Scratch Art


The scratch art project was created using a pointed wooden stick and black paper that is colored underneath. This way when the black is scratched off, the color came through. I had a shape and had to imagine an image and create a scene using the given shape. My picture is ghosts in a forest. The ghosts are made out of the shape. The ghost on the right did not turn out the greatest because I was not informed prior to the project that once the paper gets oily from being touched, it does not scratch off.
A cross curriculum project could be to use geometry when learning the shapes. The students would have to create a scene like I did, but have to include all of the shapes they have been learning. The students would like it because the black paper can come with a mixture of colors instead of one solid color. For the students to make the colors appear would be a joy to them.
