drawing with electricityDay 1Watch the two videos below and consider the process. Electro-etching uses the flow of electricity and a saturated solution of electrolytes. As you watch the video, take notes on the process. Sketch the set-up of the etching process.
Choose the metal you'd like to etch, and design your etching mask with black sharpie on white paper. I will flip the designs on the photocopier later on. Items needed for next step:
Day 2Today, we transfer the designs to the metal you've chosen to etch. If you submitted your B&W design, it will now be printed onto shiny magazine or waxy transfer paper.
You'll use one of the ironing stations to transfer your design, then clean off the tape and paper to leave the ink stencil. It's okay if it doesn't work perfectly the first time...I've printed a few for each of you. If you finish the transfer early, you may begin etching! Day 3Etching day!
When you are finished, upload a pic of your finished piece on Google Classroom, as well as two paragraphs responding to the reflection questions below. I've provided two excellent sources to help break down the process.
