- From a magazine cut out the head and hands of a human figure, this can be a man, woman or child. Glue these pieces to the gold scratchboard (Note: Self portrait digital images could be used.) Boys may be motivated to select sports heroes or rock stars.
- Begin by scratching out an organic shape that suggests a garment. This garment dos not need to be realistic…
- After you draw the garment you will have two areas to fill… the garment and the background around the garment. See Detail
- One of these areas must be densely and richly patterned using lines and textures. The other area will be covered less densely. This will emphasize one area more than the other.
- Keep the unscratched area of the scratchboard covered with a clean sheet of paper to prevent oils from your fingers transferring to the surface of the board.
- Begin to fill one of the two areas with patterns, lines, textures and shapes. Refer to the Descriptive Line worksheet for ideas and also the book, The Grammar of Ornament, for inspiration.
- Fill the other area.
- Check to see if the two areas are distinctly different. Does one stand out more than another? If they are too similar, go back and add more details to the dense shape.
