8th Grade Printmaking!

8th graders are in the middle of their unit on printmaking. I was lucky enough to take a woodcut printmaking course last term at Framingham University and completely fell in love with the art-form.

Students are creating linocut like prints from a soft material called "soft-kut". Once their design is formed, they print their image on paper with water based ink. Students repeat this process for each different color of the print.

Check out some of the works in progress below, as well as a few time-lapse videos of the students actually printing their images. Cool stuff!
