Sgraffito Art

Hi, 

In Room 1 we did Sgraffito Art. Now you're probably wondering what that is?

Its a coloured  background with black paint over top. This is how you do it. First you colour your background with pastel, next you paint over with black so you can't see the pastel. When the paint is dry you get something to scratch it with. You can now draw what ever you want. We drew our favourite animal. My animal was a dolphin, we had to do its footprints but a dolphin does not  have feet so we did the sea. I chose dolphins because I love them. We had to draw an animal because we are learning about animal migration and why they migrate. Some migrate because its to cold (like birds) some migrate because they have to hatch babies or zebras migrate because they find fresh grass and food. They look fantastic up on our wall. I like the zebra, swan and tiger, you know what I like all of them. Room 1 put in tons of effort on them. Please try it yourself it was lots of fun!
