Sgraffito
first, you are given an enormous piece of clay. Second, you have to put your clay through the slab roller. Third, you collect the wooden plate of your choice which you use to put yout slab of clay on. Next, you mold your clay to fit your piece. Then, you let your piece sit for a little and remove the plate from your clay. After, you paint your plate with three layers of black paint, in between each layer you let the paint dry before applying another coat. Next, you trace your image down onto the plate and then start to scratch out the white parts of your picture.
In order to create a successful plate you need to smoothly scratch the image you chose onto your plate.
I chose this image because it looked really interesting to create and I wanted to challenge myself. There was also lot of black and white in it.
