Lesson aligned with ELA Common Core unit "Clues to a Culture"
My fifth grade students spent a little time looking at actual and implied texture, as well as some repousse from a variety of cultures. Students went on a texture hunt around the room and then created the design for their metal. They worked both sides of their metal to work on getting variety in the texture. Once they were done adding texture, they coated their metal with black ink. After about five minutes they wiped off their metal leaving ink behind in all the great little crevices. They were amazed at how much their texture popped once this was done. Students mounted their metal on black paper and continued with implied texture using metallic color pencils. This project was a crowd pleaser with students and teachers alike! The students liked the opportunity to work with a new material and there was a great success rate! I photographed several of these, but somewhere in the end of the year craziness, I lost my images. Here are a couple from my first class of finishers.

how many class periods did this take your kids to do?

Too long for me! Although, students were always engaged and didn't get bored, probably because this was so different than other projects they had done. About 6-7 class periods. They probably spent about 25 minutes actually working each period. They were excited for the ink, and loved using metallic colored pencils for the frame.
