Linocuts with Art 1

Mr. Ragland's Art 1 students recently learned how to create 3-Color Reduction Prints using linoleum.
Using reference photos of animals, students did drawings featuring crosshatching, stippling, and hatching. No blended shading whatsoever!
Student transferred the drawings to rectangles of linoleum, and then used linoleum cutting tools to cut away the areas to be left white. Next, they printed their linoleum cuts one color at a time. For example, after printing black, students cut away all of the black areas and printed again using the next color. They did this three separate times, resulting in the beautiful three color prints you see in these photos.
