Last week primary 4.2 were making scratch art pictures using oil pastels and black paint.

They discussed in their groups what they had been learning about during the art lessons.

Golden Stars: ‘We used oil pastels to scratch art and cover it with black paint. We really enjoyed it, mostly painting it black.’  Matthew, Ella, James and Eva.

Marvellous Marshmallows: ‘Last week we did scratch art and we really enjoyed it.’ Sarah McN, Reid, Lily, Jaime, Sarah L and Jack.  

Multiplications monkeys: ‘We had fun doing scratch art. We used pastels to colour in the paper then we painted it back’. Anna McK, Scott, Millie, Heather, Daniel and Norah.

Maths Monkeys: ‘We have been making stick athletes and we have been doing scratch art with pastels and black paint we enjoyed it.’ Eloise, Felix, Erin and Callum. 

It was very important to cover the whole page with the coloured pastels before painting black to ensure the brightest effect when the picture was scratched out. Lots of detail was paid to this.

‘I have been smudging the pastels to get no white bits’. Eloise.
