1. Starter of the day
Get your photos and Plexiglas pieces from the stack up front.
Get your markers off Mrs. Francesconi’s desk
If you are still working on the design get a visa vie not a sharpie
Get right to work drawing out your face with the markers
Once you have drawn your face you need to decide on a background.
If you want to be in a contest add fruit to your background.

4. Last time We started our engraving selfie portraits last time.
We hatched and cross hatched with visa vie first than moved to sharpie when we had it just right.
If you made a mistake with a sharpie just check with Mrs. Francesconi she has a fix.
We also finished anything that we were missing.
Many of you are still missing mono prints so please get those done as soon as possible.

5. Dry point engraving prints

6. Step 1
Put you black and white photo under your Plexiglas.

7. Step 2
Tape it in place so it does not move while you are doing you dry point.

8. Step 3
Begin scratching into the Plexiglas using hatching or cross hatching to create gradation.

10. Step 5
Clean off excess ink with cheesecloth & newspaper.
