This is a lesson that uses the technique of wax relief. You can buy these black pages from art catalogs but they are costly and you can create your own pretty easily. Give students oil pastels and have them create a grid, being sure to use lots of colors and make a thick layer. They may use rainbow colors or chose a color scheme to work from. After paper is filled with color students apply a thick layer of black oil pastels untill the colors are covered. Then students use printmaking "scratchers" to create thier work of art. For this lesson in particular we focused on underwater scenes. We learned fun fish facts and studied the beauty of the color spectrums found underwater.
