In conjunction with their Ancient Civilizations studies, Sixth Graders created sgraffito Greek Vases. They designed a flat symmetrical vase form with patterns and images indicative of the era they studied. Students worked with positive shapes and negative space while using the sgraffito technique. This involved scratching away a surface layer of black paint to expose the orange or terracotta layer of crayon underneath to decorate the flat paper vase forms.
