For this lesson, we got to create our own scratch art sheets and then scratch a scene into them. Although there are already made scratch art sheets you can buy, we learned how to make them ourselves. We were all given a square piece of cardstock and instructed to color a pattern on it using either primary or secondary colors, pressing quite hard so that it is plenty dark.
Once that is done, we painted over our pattern with black tempera paint. We created a scene on a separate sheet of paper using dark pencil lines, then transferring that to our painted piece of cardstock. Lastly, we used a small wooden stick to scratch along the lines of our scene. Two different patterns needed to be included in our scene, which is seen in waves and sand.

This project would be interesting to incorporate into history. Scratch art could be compared to forms on storytelling and communicating that was used in the past. Students could come up with things that they think are similar to scratch art (ex. hieroglyphics, cave art, etc).
