Fourth graders spent time with the art principle of contrast before created their own high contrast scratch art designs. After discussing how contrast is used by artists, the students thickly laid down light colored oil pastels in a design of their choosing and then brushed on a couple coats of black tempura paint. In a second class period, they etched their drawings with sharp-pointed screws. The effect is pretty cool and the kids love seeing the colors revealed by their etching. (And can you tell Halloween is coming up?)
