Scratchboard with Drama with Rhonda Nass

Students will learn a step by step process of creating a dramatic final artwork by using an xacto knife blade to scratch away varying amounts of a black ink top layer, to expose various light to dark values beneath through their controlled scratching. They will see contemporary scratchboard art/artists’ works. They will begin a work using their chosen subject matter and work at their chosen pace to complete enough in class to have confidence to finish the work with excellence in their own space, at their own pace, beyond
the workshop timeframe. They will learn how skilled they are!

Included in kit fee: Knife and blade, scratchboard boards, tracing and transfer papers, rag, sandpaper
