Lino-cut Printing

Subject: Food
Concepts: Contrast and Repetition
Technique: Linoleum Cut Printing

Last year the subject for our Lino-cut was fruit. This year we will expand it to include any food your choose. The main emphasis behind this assignment is the use of contrast and repetition. 

Create a minimum of Five (5) variations. Use different color paper, inks and background 
colors.

If you use a 6x8 inch piece of lino, you may use the press. Larger will require the use of the barren.

Step by Step Procedure

Sketch out your design.

Use tracing paper to transfer the image to your lino.

It's helpful to outline your design with sharpie.

Carve out your image. Always cut away from your holding hand. Use a bench hook.

Charge with ink.

Use a barren or the printing press to add pressure.

Pull your print.

Bravo!!
