printing in art class by: Salt

This week in art class 5th graders are having fun doing carving and printing.

You started out with design on paper this would be are guides to carving our linoleum carving blocks. The 5th graders used linoleum cutters and their guides to carve their designs into their linoleum blocks. It was very satisfying and fun to carve the linoleum. On the packaging of the linoleum blocks it says “cuts like butter”.

So now everyone was saying “cuts like butter!” Once we carved our designs we had to print them.

We used brayers (rollers) and ink to print our designs 4 different ways onto paper. Once we finished printing we would try a different color. Would all make three.

5th graders are hoping that they can look forward to more
