Art students finally had the opportunity to choose their own subject for this Scratchboard assignment. They were instructed to create an etched drawing that demonstrates an understanding of texture and value.
Every student began by researching a design idea on the Internet, and then created a preliminary drawing on paper. The pencil drawing was then transferred and etched into black scratchboard with sharp tools.
This work is absolutely exceptional! I’d never believe this quality of work could be produced in Middle School, but I also know that anything is possible under the guidance, direction and expertise of Mrs. Sanderl! Incredible job 😉
