Vinyl Record Scratchboard

Eduardo 10th grade.                       Jasmin D. 10th grade

HISTORY-

The record player was invented in 1877 by Thomas Edison n the form of his phonograph. The phonograph was the first device to both record and play back sound, 

initially on a tin foil wrapped cylinder. This groundbreaking invention laid the foundation for the modern record player, though the technology evolved significantly over the following decades with devices like Emile Berliner's gramophone and the introduction of flat vinyl records. 

SCIENCE- 

Wax and Oil do not mix with water based liquids (like tempera paint). 

Applying wax crayon or oil pastels beneath the tempera paint 

will allow the dry paint to flake off. 

VOCABULARY

RADIAL-  describes things arranged like rays or spokes from a central point. 

CONCENTRIC- having a common center, or, in a related sense, a common axis.

These 2 words are imortant for keeping the record looking like record. 

 

How to do it…

Flatten Plate as best you can with your hand. 

It will help to put under a heavy book or bard overnight. 

Use the back part of the plate to begin your design. 

Find center/axis of plate. Make a fat dot where the record hole would be. 

Gather your oil pastels, crayons, and have tempera, 

and liquid soap on hand for later. 

Choose Oil Pastel or Crayon (non-washable/Crayola)

Push hard covering area around center label going in a 

concentric radial direction. 

Choose lighter brighter colors. 

Paint layer of black tempera and liquid soap mixture. Over crayon & oil pastel. 

Let dry…

Note: If layer was too thin, paint another when dry. 

GETTING GROOVY

This is the HARDEST part. First carve out about 4-6 concentric circles around the scratch area. 

Think of a ripple created from a pebble dripped in water. 

These grooves are where the songs change. 

Then, using a radial guideline that goes from the middle axis, create an area with more lines that represent the highlighted shine in the record. 

Typically they repeat on the other side just the same, making a symmetrical design. 

Vinyl Record Visual Reference

Study the way the images show the VALUE changes on the groovy radial surface.

Font Collages with Michael Albert

Post Pop Art Collage Artist 

How has consumerism and adverting effected our recognition of simple fonts or images?

Do you know what these are from?...

Why do you know that so well?

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle by creating art from old trash. 

"You are what you Create!"

If this is true... 

Michael Albert is Creative, Fun, Inventive, Resourceful, Economical, Thoughtful, Thrifty, and Frugal.

He began as an artist drawing on ANYTHING! (including sickness bags on airplanes).

One time, he did not want to throw away his Frosted Flakes box, so he made a cereal collage out of it, using the cardboard backing of a notebook as his gluing surface.

or packaging products, reuse FONTS and images to create a COLLAGE.

-Fill up space of 8 by 12 page. 

-Leave small gaps in between like a MOSAIC. 

-Use at least 10 letters. 

*collect your pieces and keep up with them in your portfolio. 

"No gluing until you know what you are doing."
