Scratchboard Design

The seventh grade students will be exploring a new medium this week: Scratchboard. During this project, students will become familiar with sample etchings to inspire them to create etchings of their own. This project will also have students broaden their understanding of using light and dark value to create form. These scratchboard designs will be based on nature. On Tuesday, each student will be expected to bring in a picture from a magazine or online that shows any aspect of nature: landscapes, animals, underwater life, etc... A selection of pictures will also be available to choose from in the art room.
