Middle School Work On Scratch Design portrait

Beginning  with their completed self-portraits, the middle school students copied their work onto heavy paper, outlined the faces and backgrounds with Sharpie and added intense oil pastel color in unusual combinations, covering the entire composition. They were then painted over with black tempera paint and intricate designs were scratched into the surface revealing the face underneath the scratched surface.

Lots of color and texture in this one
