This month we did printmaking and made a lot of original pieces. We started out by just using using the blocks which were EZ carves and we made small carvings and printed them into designs. We use the carving tools which have different tips that can be put in to create different types of lines in different shapes and sizes. The it got more challenging when we used he linoleum and had to carve into those with the carving tools. This was way more challenging but we solved this problem with the irons to make it softer to carve into and easier. It was fun because we were making original art and got to be creative with what we wanted to make and with the colors we wanted to use for the ink in the printing process. Lastly, once finished, we printed them. We use a brayer to roll out the ink onto the linoleum but you kind of have to work fast so the ink doesn’t dry because your print could get sloppy and spotty. This was really difficult for me because my design just wouldn’t print well. I tried changing the ink, the paper but nothing was really working, but after many tries I finally got some good prints!!
