Calendar Art Awesomeness

For calendar art this year we used a technique called sgraffito, or scratch art. We layered paint over pastel, and then scratched off our design. Get your orders in now for this amazing art. Every student will have brought home and order form. Orders are due back on the 23rd of September.
