Project #10 - Scratch Art



The next lesson was taught by Nicole Bruemmer and Justin Kiefer. We learned about scratch art. We learned different terms such as hatching and cross hatching. We learned the different styles of scratch art, and what each of them looked like. We were to design a picture from the shape that was given to us. I thought my shape looked like an ax, so I drew a log that was going to be cut in half. I used circles, hatching, and cross hatching on my scratch art. I tried to use it more close together and then space it out more to make the log look like it was rounded. We then had to place it on a piece of paper to add more to it and a border.


For an extension activity, I would teach the students how to shade with the different techniques. This way they could have to draw a rounded object and have to use the different techniques to show light and dark values on the scratch art. Students could use this for just regular drawing as well rather than just for scratch art. This would help the students with using different ways to shade rather than just with the side of a pencil.
