Description: For this project, the students first chose a sample picture of an under water animal to base their picture off of. Next the students folded an 8 1/2" by 11" piece of white paper in half and drew a picture of an underwater animal with the background. Once they completed the drawing, the students then placed the black sheet of scratch art paper in the folded sheet of white paper and used the wooden tool to create an outline on the scratch art paper of their drawing. Once the students had the tracing stage done. They removed the black sheet of paper from the folded paper and started tracing over their lines with the wooden tool to create a picture on the scratch art paper. Once the students had the outline of the items done, they then used the wooden to and different techniques to add detail and texture to their picture.
Bulletin Board:

Pictures of Under Water World Scratch Art after projects were hung up.
Extension Activity: A good extension activity with this project is using scratch art paper to do projects with either patterns or other topics. You can make the size smaller or bigger than half an 8 1/2" by 11" project like we did with our lesson. The nice thing is you can use the idea of scratch art projects for just about anything because all it requires is the paper and a wooden pencil. You can also get the paper in different colors. So my idea would be to have the students create a picture of their house and family for introductions or to create a project with overlapping shapes and concepts or anything along those lines.
