Practice drawing lines with different characteristics:.Use very little pressure so you just scratch off the top layer of black and don’t cut through to the cardboard underneath. Using small movements & gentle pressure, stroke across the scratchboard, you may need to alter the position of the blade to effectively scratch the surface off.Use the straight scratch knife or an Exacto knife.Time Lapse Video of Scratchboard Wolf:.When creating texture with scratch art- Important Things to Look at:.The closer the dots are together, the LIGHTER the value. Varying the pressure and angle of the blade will change the size of the dots and also the thickness of the dots. Stippling is created by poking at the surface with the tip of a X-Acto blade.
SCRATCH ART SERIES
Stippling: Creating value by using a series of DOTS.Start with stippling over an area then add highlights and shading by cross-hatching. Cross-hatching over stippling can give more precise values. Rough textures and tones can be achieved with random cross-hatching and very tiny strokes. Cross-hatching: Creating value by using a series of criss-cross or intersecting lines The closer the lines are together, the LIGHTER the value.The closer the line are together, the LIGHTER the value. Using the sharp edge of an X-Acto blade perpendicular to the direction of a line results in a broad line. Lines thinner than a hair are possible with a sharp instrument and very little pressure. You can vary the brightness and width of the lines or hatching by varying the pressure of your tool. Hatching: Creating value by using a series of parallel lines.Step back and examine your piece from a distance to see if you are getting the value ranges you desire.As a general guideline – USE SMALL STROKES!!!! Smaller strokes are easier to control the scratching process.Don’t touch the surface of the scratch board with your fingers-they are oily & this may prevent scratching from happening.Always keep a piece of paper under your hand while scratching.NEVER SCRATCH THE WHOLE OUTLINE THE DRAWING!!! Outlines ruin a feathered or furry edge!.Depending on the object that you are working on – you should use different value techniques to show texture of this particular object. You can use a variety of strokes as you scratch. This technique is similar to drawing with white pencil over a black paper.You must plan carefully for where you will etch the light out. Each time you scratch the surface of the paper, the white shows through so you are actually building up the different values of light.ĭ. You are etching away the black, inked surface to show where the light hits the object(s). Etching is with a pencil or pen because you are actually drawing with the “reverse” or with light.This is the opposite of process of drawing because instead of laying down a dark value or line, you are scratching the drawing with the “reverse” light.When you scratch or “etch” the surface (black ink) using scratch tools you reveal the board beneath leaving a white mark. The scratchboard surface starts out solid black.Scratch board is a paper board that is covered with wax, clay, or gesso and coated on top with black ink. Scratch board (Art)– Scratch Art is a graphic technique.Lines should FOLLOW THE CURVATURE or contour of the object. The closer the dots are together, the darker the value The CLOSER the lines are together, the DARKER the value
Squiggly Lines: Creating value by using squiggly or irregular lines.Cross-Hatching: Creating value by using 2 or more intersecting sets of parallel lines.Gradation: Create value changes by using blended tones The MOST Important thing to know when shading is…Where is the LIGHT SOURCE coming from!.Adding transitional Values is called SHADING.One purpose of value is to give the illusion of depth-to make a 2D object LOOK like it is 3D.Each color has a gray value matching it.Value is the lightness or darkness of a color.They will create a representational drawing that develops two-dimensional shapes to appear three-dimensional.They will learn scratch art techniques to create various values and textures using hatching, cross-hatching & stippling.Students will learn the art medium called scratch art is a subtractive process of drawing.pack of 10 10 point, Scrapper Tool Set 4/Pkg.
Supplies: Scratch Art Black Coated Scratchboards 8 1/2 in. I could not be any prouder of them-the results were beautiful!! This project can be done with upper elementary, middle or high school art. They then drew out their compositions on paper & transferred them to the scratch art paper.
My High school art reviewed rule of thirds (composition) & basic scratch art or scratch board techniques.
