The 7th and 8th graders finished up their prints this week.  They were given the theme "faces", and they practiced linoleum block print techniques.  They drew a sketch, transferred it to linoleum, carved the positive space from the design with a gouge, applied ink with a brayer, and experimented with a variety of printing surfaces.  The examples here are only a few of many creative prints.  I was thrilled to see how they dove in and tried so many ideas.
