Mrs. Morgan's turtle 2021
We are going to do a study on Sea Turtles.
Before we create, First let's learn about them.
Here you can learn about the sea turtles...
Learn more about their survival and adaptation of Turtles...
Now, let's create!
I got an idea from another amazing art teacher...
Larralee Chambers from Instagram did these with her fourth graders
to raise awareness for Sea Turtles !
They used RainbowScratchBoard to create their turtles.
They look amazing. I wanted to try them out too.

This is a special method of Scratch Art. The paper is specially made.
When you scratch it with a tool, rainbow colors show beneath.
Like the look?
See more Rainbow Scratch Art here.
Use the Step by Step drawing of a turtle to practice.
Draw a larger Turtle on a piece of paper that is the same size as your scratch paper.
I folded it to try to make it as symmetrical as I could.
You will use this as a master copy, so do your best.
Put the master copy on top of the scratch paper with a magazing (or stack of papers) underneath.
I rotated my turtle before I did this to make the composition more interesting.
Use a pencil to make an impression onto the scratch paper.
These are like guidelines for you to get you started since you cannot erase mistakes.
READ BEFRE YOU SCRATCH
Fransisco V (7th grade) is using his sketch to recreate his intricate turtle onto his scratch paper.
He used line design in the shell add texture.

This video is a nice way to create Ocean Ambiance in the classroom,
while giving the students visual inspiration for their turtle drawings.
