Scratchboard
Objective - Students will create a scratchboard artwork by scraping away black paint to reveal a colorful design
Grading Requirements
· The project must be complete ·
· The paint was scratched away with care (Lines are neat and intentional)
· The viewer is easily able to identify the subject of the artwork
· The artist displays a solid range of value
· The artist worked to the best of his/her ability
Vocabulary
value. An element of art that deals with the darkness or lightness of a hue or neutral color (highlights and shadows). A value scale shows the range of values from black to white.
contrast. Difference between two or more elements (e.g., value, color, texture) in a composition; juxtaposition of dissimilar elements in a work of art; also, the degree of difference between the lightest and darkest parts of a picture.
render. A shading technique used create an accurate (correct/exact) reproduction
crosshatching. A technique of shading using two or more crossed sets of parallel lines.
hatching. A technique of shading using a serious of fine parallel lines.
highlight. Small white areas in a drawing or painting that show the surfaces of the subject that reflect the most light. (The opposite of shadows)
shadow. Shaded areas in a drawing or painting that show the surfaces of the subject that reflect the least light. (The opposite of highlights)

Project 1 Steps - Mini Scratchboard Letter
Students will create a mini scratchboard of a letter on 2 in / 2 in paper
1. Students will take a 2 in / 2 in index card and trace it three times onto a scratch paper
(These will be their planning pages for deciding which direction they want to take their project)
2. Students will then take their index card and cover it with crayon to create a wax resist
a. The card must be COMPELETLY covered in order for the assignment to be successful
b. Any areas that are left uncovered will not resist the paint
3. Students will cover their index cards with black tempera paint.
a. The tempera paint does not stick to the surface of the wax as well as it would stick to the pores of a paper.
b. This is called a wax resist style of creating art.
4. Students will draw a decorated letter (First or last name) within each of their three traced boxes.
a. This letter must look artistic, and not be a basic letter.
b. There must be some sort of embellishment (pattern or decoration) around the letter
5. Looking at their sketched letters, we will select a letter and this letter will be drawn onto their 2 in / 2 in paper
a. Draw VERY LIGHTLY IN PENCIL to prevent accidental scratches from occurring
6. Upon completing their sketch, students will use a toothpick to scratch away the paint on the area they have drawn, revealing the color behind the paint
Project 1 Steps - Scratchboard Art Project
Students will create a scratchboard artwork on 4 in / 6 in paper
1. Students will take a 4 in / 6 in paper and cover the paper using crayon.
a. The card must be COMPELETLY covered in order for the assignment to be successful
b. Any areas that are left uncovered will not resist the paint
2. Students will cover their papers with black tempera paint.
a. The card must be COMPELETLY covered in order for the assignment to be successful
b. Any areas that are left uncovered will not resist the paint
3. Students will create a list of five images that they find to be successful
a. Students will create sketches of three of these images and bring in photo references of these images
4. Looking at their sketches, we will select a sketch and this will be drawn onto their 4 in / 6 in paper
a. Draw VERY LIGHTLY IN PENCIL to prevent accidental scratches from occurring
5. Upon completing their sketch, students will use a toothpick to scratch away the paint on the area they have drawn, revealing the color behind the paint
