STILL LIFE LINOCUT

For the sixth MINI students will focus on SPACE and LINE. Using a sharpie marker students will choose 3 objects to draw using only black and white space. Students may use a variety of lines and patterns to create more interest in their objects. For the BIG assignment students will create their own still-life linoleum block print. They must first focus on arranging their objects to achieve a strong composition. Then, students will focus on breaking up the space into positive space and negative space. Using line, texture and patterns students will create variety in their still-life compositions. Once they have the composition established, they will transfer it to an EZ cut block, carve it, and print an edition of 10.
