Etch-a-Sketch


In this activity, we traced a drawing we already had created onto this to create a neater version of what we had. I created the flower I love to draw. We traced the top of our original drawings with a wooden, leadless pencil. This took the ink on the etch-a-sketch paper off, revealing the negative version of our drawings. My flower features a green outline, though this paper comes in other colors such as blue and pink. This project was fun and relaxing, yet reshading the flower to make it look life-like again was challenging. This project would be great for students who are not confident in replicating their artwork but need practice. Extensions include tracing shapes or vocabulary words in other classes, or notes for that matter, for repitition and storing information into memory.
