INTRO-Texture Dragons

We will explore the world of texture by creating a world of dragons with the use of our imaginations.
-The texture dragons are made by creating 16 different textures on an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper folded 4 times. After the textures are created draw an imaginary dragon on another sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 paper in pencil. "Color" in the dragon by using all 16 textures within your dragon and background.
-Pick up a 9 1/2 x 12 inch sheet of metal, some steel wool and place it over a sheet of newspaper and "scuff" the metal on both sides, taking away the shine.
-Tape your drawing to one side of the metal. Place a stack of newspapers underneath the metal so there is room for the metal to depress.
-Use a ball point pen to trace your original drawing and indent the metal.
-Once completed, use the ink/soap mixture and paint a thin coat of wide strokes across the metal on whichever side you choose.(Must only be one side)
-Let ink mixture dry overnight.
-Pick up a blank frame and create an interesting design using bright, bold colors around the frame. This will be a nice contrast to the metal dragon.
-Tape the completed dragon piece on the back of the frame and place it one the display wall.
