Using only small objects from nature, plus other fibers, students explored texture. They first built their 'plate' using symmetrical design for their focal point then printed with multiple colors.
Henna Tattoo Prints, grades 9-12
Students were introduced to henna painting tradition of India and designed their own hand on paper, transferred it, then cut design from linoleum block. Hands were printed onto a large format to show variety and unity of design in their composition.
Endangered Species Prints, grades 9-12
Students were posed the idea of being scientific illustrators and had to research an endangered species in order to make linoleum block prints. Emphasis was on line and texture with a patterned border surrounding central print that related to markings of animal or their habitat. Five facts of their species were then hand printed around thin border. Group critique at end.
