Linoleum Prints

The assignment for this project was to carve the negative space from a carveboard. We then used that scratchboard to print on pieces of paper to make four different prints.

I did this project by using carving knifes of different sizes for more detail. After my shape was carved, I colored carveboard with the ink and used a printing press to print four different prints. One was solid, one of different color ink, one on a non-traditional surface and one that hand-manipulated.

I did this project because I wanted to work with carving. I had never done anything like this before and it was a good starting project. It was also fun to become more knowledgable on printing. I had done some printing in the last but it was good to get more experience.
