Final Project

First I wet the cardboard to get the layers to fan out, and then I burned it after it dried. To me it looks like a bunny so I tried to mimic the technique and drew it with charcoal to get as close to the ashy burn mark as possible.

I dripped ink over a feather and then wrapped plastic over it to smudge it across the surface. The colors and shape looked like a butterfly, so my response was a blue butterfly drawn on the plastic.

I used the same inky feather from the previous project and dragged it accross the cardboard. The design came out so smooth and perfect that I was reminded of a Chinese ink drawing. I tried to create a scene as neatly as I could inspired from my feather design.

I used another feather dipped in ink and dragged it across the cardboard.

I used a match dipped in ink to draw a match on cardboard.

I used matches dipped in ink to draw an abstract design. I could sort of see a shape and tail rutter of a helicopter and responded to that.

When scratching at the carboard, I peeled away the skin and revealed the detail underneath. It reminded me of a cityscape, more particularly, the World Trade Center. I responded by duplicating the technique on an actual image of the Trade Center.
