Linocuts by 4th and 5th Graders

These are linocuts by students in my 2D Mixed Media after school class at the University City Arts League. Most of these kids have had a lot of art before and live in families that strongly support the arts, so relief printmaking was nothing new. I just showed them how to properly use the carving tools, print a proof with black ink on white paper and how to do a color gradation, and they went from there.

I just love showing off the work of these creative kids.
