Art With Mrs. French in 7th/8th grades

Unwanted CDs were put to good use in this project in which grade 8 students explored etching, with an emphasis on line variation and a balanced composition. Acrylic paint covered the shiny side of the CD, then the dry surface was etched with the pointed end of a nail or a screw. Even within the limited scope of the materials, we see some nice creative work. The addition of silver glitter complimented the shiny surface of two designs.
