Sratch Art

We were assigned to draw two different pictures in our sketch books. When we brought them to class the next day we took a pencil and shaded the back of our picture. We then chose a color of scratch paper we liked and placed it behind our drawing. We took a wooden tool and traced all of the lines that we drew. This is allowing the lead to transfer onto the scratch art paper. Once we had all of the lines traced we took the scratch paper and started scratching out our picture. It was really neat because we learned how to transfer our drawings to another type of paper. It was difficult making sure you traced all of the lines. We had to be very careful that the two pieces of paper didn't move because it would have made it challenging to get them lined up perfectly again. As an extension, I would have the students experiment with shading their drawing to make it look more 3-D and adding details to it. I really enjoyed this activity and I think students would have a lot of fun!
