Here are a few of our 3rd-5th grade Art Clubbers' finished linoleum cut prints. The students drew up designs, which they then transferred to square soft linoleum pieces. They then carved out the areas they wanted to remain white, after which they inked and printed their own hand-carved design. This process developed from wood cut print prints, which have been used in art for hundreds of years. While materials have changed, the process remains remarkably consistent. One of the beautiful things about this process is that it challenges the students to think about an both the negative and positive space in the image they designed.
