Students will be taught the step by step process of drawing using sgraffito layering technique. Students will get experience using oil pastels, as well as how to use a scratch tool. Creativity is the name of the game, and students should expect for their final product to be unique. Everyone will have an opportunity to share their artwork at the end of class. If students don't finish their final project they are encouraged to send me a photo of their completed work. As in all my classes, students are encouraged to explore the medium and process on their own time to create additional amazing artworks that they can be proud of.
Learning Goals
Students will learn what sgraffito technique is and how to use it for drawing. Students will learn one use for oil pastels. Students will also experience how to do a line drawing using a scratching tool.
