Pop Art Prints

In response, students made their own Warholesque Pop Art Linoleum Prints. They turned out great, see for yourself:

Scratchboard
Seward High Art Students just finished a Scratchboard Unit. They began by finding a photo that they wanted to base their scratchboard off of. Next, students taped their photo over a piece of scratchboard and traced around the contour lines. Scratchboard is black and when scratched with needle like tools reveals a white, silver or gold interior layer. Students were instructed to scratch away the light areas of their image, building up different values through hatching. Here are some results!
