Crayon Engraving




Above are pictures of a crayon engraving that I created during art.  To create a crayon engraving canvas I took a piece of paper and colored it thickly with different colors.  Then I painted it with black tempera paint.  While the paint was drawing I drew two pictures to represent a card for Mother's Day.  Once the paint was dry, I took the pictures I drew and traced them onto the black canvas.  Then I scratched on the line to create my pictures.  Then I folded the canvas to be turned into a card.

This type of activity can be used during English.  Students can make this type of art to become a journal cover.  In this journal students can keep all their writing assignments.  This journal can then be returned back to them when they graduate.  This will give them a great reminder of how far they have come since they first started school.
