These two practice pieces by junior Michaela Platt.
My Intermediate 2-D kids love working with scratchboard, but before I give them the pricey material, I cut up very small pieces for them to practice on. Scratchboard is a piece of heavy white board covered in black ink. You draw with either a pointed or scooped nib. You use the nib to scratch thru the black to get to the white. If you make a mistake there are no do-overs. That's why it's really important to practice first. After finishing the drawing, I have the kids bring in watercolor onto the white areas. The results are striking.
The eye study was done by senior Halah Elsahhar, and the house/hut by senior Belinda Wu.
The bird belongs to junior Megan Yeu, who will be coming back next year as one of my strongest drawing/ painting students along with Michaela Platt.
This last one was done by senior Kevin Tang. I accidentally bought a piece of scratchboard that had silver instead of white board underneath, but the results are very cool as you can see.
