Srcatchboard is a technique where drawings are created by using sharp tools to etch into a thin layer of black India ink over a white China clay board. We used Black and white animals as our theme.  Artists learned to cross hatch (scratch) in patterns to create the textures and variety within the work.

The fifth grade students stayed warm this winter by focusing on the tropics! Each student chose a photograph of a tropical fish. They used pencil to draw their fish, and oil pastel to add texture and color.

Students continued their study of animals on the next project as well. First, the srtists used glue that was dyed with black ink to draw the outline and texture of a reptile or amphibian. Then, they finished the piece with watercolor paints.

After examining and discussing the techniques of Aboriginal art and "Dreamtime" Australian animals and stories, 5th grade artists created these inspired artworks. We chose a more modern color palette using Crayola gel markers on black paper.
