Teacher Notes (not visible to students)
The virtual scratch boards in this project could be used to do any drawing, it does not have to be used to review balance. Students or teachers can also create their own. I just made my own rainbow and metallic background using my own computer drawing software. I then uploaded it, and locked it. Once it was locked I painted over the entire picture with the black maker tool. I had a student create their own and they loved it! The fine art images I used to review balance were found on the sites listed with the artist and title information.
