Art Project

Rachel and Gabe have been working on a Literature Pocket book this year. They are enjoying learning about the illustrators of some great children's books.

One of the recent projects was a technique called scratchboard. The kids colored bright stripes with crayon onto cardstock, painted over it with black paint and then scratched off designs.

The result was fun to make and quite interesting.
