Greek Vase Scratch Art

Hi guys, we recently wrapped up our Ancient History study. Our final project was this Greek vase scratch art. The lesson plans had us making them out of clay but I thought this scratch art might be more fun. 

My son started off by coloring his vase with brown wax crayons. Then, we painted the whole thing with black paint. 

Scratch Paint Recipe

Equal parts paint and soap

I purchased this pack from Glitter Meets Glue which comes with a roll and draw game. 

The art lesson also includes vase patterns.

He would roll the dice and scratch the pattern onto the vase

He really enjoyed this project. 

Intro to Ancient History

My second grader has been working through Intro to Ancient History from bookshark level B. We've loved all the books, projects, and hands-on activities. 

After learning about Ancient Greece we made Laurel Leaf Wreath

Ancient Rome and the City of Pompeii

Roman Chariot

Mayan, Inca, and Aztec

Native American 

We learned all about Ancient Egypt, Pyramids, Mummies, and the Nile River

These are just some of the activities and times we covered. We also learned all about Ancient China, Silk Road, and Ancient Africa. I'll share the rest in another post.
