For this project, we had to come up with an idea that had a lot of movement incorporated into it and create that idea with the scratchboard. At first we practiced the techniques with the scratch board and used all the different tools taht can make all these different marks and lines on the board. I kknew that i wanted to use the white versus the silver as it was a lot brighter and i liked that better, so i kind of tried to base my ideas off the idea that i was working with black and white so my first main idea of my two main ideas was to do zebras running. I really liked this idea alot but i just do animals so much i wanted a change. I thought about how cool mermaids probably look in scratchboard because i feel like the scratchboard does give the piece a kind of magical quality which is nice. I decided i wanted to do a mermaid sitting on a giant rock in the middle of the water, and have her hair blowing in the wind and then use the hair as well as the water/air to create the movement. Since i like to do designs so much and my favorite one i do all the time in my pieces in the swirls i figured id use that for the water because in my sketch i think that it looked really cool . I spent a ton of time on the rock with is why the mermaid and sky are kind of rushed which i hate but overall i think it looks really nice.I love this piece and i would do it again and i enjoyed working with scratchboard as it is my first time.
