In this engaging art project, students will create a
starfish on canvas using a scratch technique that
adds intricate details to the body of the starfish.
The activity starts with painting the canvas using
acrylic paints, focusing on the application of thick
layers of paint. This method is essential for the
subsequent scratching phase, where students will
use tools to etch into the thickly applied paint,
revealing layers of colors or the original canvas
beneath to create dynamic textures and patterns.
