The culminating project for Week 3 combined student's knowledge of pen & ink techniques, texture and pattern making in a new media for most: scratchboard. This is traditionally made from a clay board covered in a thin layer of India ink. Scratch tools, paperclips, erasers and even sponges were used to create the unique effects below. Three of the schools did an intense week of practicing, playing and planning for the final bordered animal or landmark image.
The students at Summit College Prep also explored pen & ink techniques using a dip pen and india ink. For their final scratchboard piece, students created a postage stamp design of a person, place or creature, including a clever price for mailing. They then incorporated their knowledge of patterns using Zentangle to create unique black & white compositions. Enjoy!
