2 OCEANOLOGY SCROLL The purpose of this Enrichment4You e-guide is to provide theme ideas for creating a scientific, yet imagination based scroll. Suggestions will include use of collage materials, preparation of the scroll surface, how to layout sections of the scroll, creating individual pages using the black and white and color images in this e-guide.

3 COLLAGE MATERIALS DIRECTIONS: Select one or more of the items from the columns on the next two pages to help you design your mini-collages. Books on decorative paint techniques, jewelry making, ornaments and greeting cards are excellent sources for finding ideas to add textural detail to your collages.

5 PREPARING THE SCROLL Primed canvas is the surface upon which all elements of the scroll will be placed. Primed canvas is available at artist supply stores on large rolls and can be purchased in any length desired. It is easy to use since it already has been coated with gesso and does not require any extra preparation. It may cost a little more, but the ease of using it right away is worth the small additional cost. MATERIALS: *12 wide primed canvas *Paint brushes - various sizes *Gel medium *Acrylic paints *Crackle medium (optional *Sea sponge *Dowels *Feathers *Decorative end caps for dowels *Cording *Scissors *Eyelets *Strong glue - liquid nails, hot glue, etc. *Container for water *Permanent ink for rubber stamps *Magic markers suitable for wood Science (Oceans), Language Arts, Art 3 s DIRECTIONS: 1. Determine the length and width of the completed scroll and cut out the dimensions from a piece of primed canvas. For our example, we used a 6 X 24 piece of primed canvas. 2. Use a damp sponge to cover the surface of the canvas with a combination of ocean colors. We selected different colors of blue, purple and green. We also dabbed on metallics.

6 PREPARING THE SCROLL (Continued) 3. If desired, embellish the surface of the canvas with dimensional paint, tissue paper, metallic threads and ribbon to create your underwater scene. 4. Accent parts of the canvas to create an antiqued look to the surface. 5. Cut a dowel that is 2 inches longer than width of the canvas. For example, if the canvas is 12 wide, use a dowel that is 14 long. 7. Embellish the dowel as desired. For our example we used magic markers appropriate for wood. 8. Determine how you want your scroll to unroll. If you plan to have the story unfold so it is read from left to right, the dowel is placed on the right hand side. If you plan to have the story unfold from right to left, the dowel should be placed on the left hand side. In most western countries, books are read from left to right and horizontally. In the east and orient they are read from right to left and vertically. 6. Select two decorative end pieces for the dowel ends. These can be curtain end caps or wood pieces glued together and glue these to each end of the dowel. Science (Oceans), Language Arts, Art 4 s
