Kluender- Art 8

Art 8 is beginning a printmaking lesson! We will be doing reduction linoleum block printing. Students were asked to send me a photo of themselves (or I took one here at school). We used an Adobe Photoshop filter to reduce the photo into black, grey, and white values.

Students will learn how to use the linoleum carving tools and printing tools to create these images in several steps. 

Parents should have received a permission form for students to use the linoleum carving tools. We will go over IN GREAT DETAIL all of the safety procedures and expectations before using these tools. I included a list of these on the permission form. Any student who is not behaving in a manner that is safe in class, will be asked to do an alternate assignment. This will be a PowerPoint research presentation on an artist that works as a printmaker. 

Stay tuned for "in progress" posts to see students in action throughout the printmaking process...
