2nd Grade Autumn Trees

Sometimes all you need are lines, shapes, and color to make a picture really pop! These fall trees are simple but deal with a lot of elements of art for second graders. They decorated our halls perfectly for the Fall.

How to Make Scratch Art Paper!

Making special scratch art paper is easy. You only need a few ingredients and tools. Central Park 2nd through 4th graders made their own scratch art paper using the following materials:

• Paper
• Oil Pastels
• Black tempera paint
• Liquid Dish Soap

After the paint dried, they used wooden sticks to scratch an image. There are a lot of household items you can use to scratch an image on this paper: toothpick, fork, skewer, paper clip, etc. 

Here's a video of Ms. Lee demonstrating how to make this special art paper:
