In-School Linocut Printmaking Programs

Students will experience the different materials and the process required to complete a linocut print. Using their imagination, students will explore various ideas through sketching, then select their favorite elements to carve and print their final image.

All Linocut lessons will begin with a visual presentation introducing the students to the topic and objectives, providing motivation for the art lesson. Students will learn about different lines, patterns and textures that they will incorporate into their own dynamic print.
