I recently started at a school that does not have any printmaking supplies. As a teacher that came from the background of doing professional textile design, I'd like to expose my students to some of the printing techniques I am passionate about. One of these is linoleum block printing.
Block printing is a great way to teach students about positive and negative space. It requires many sketches and pre-planning steps that give students experience troubleshooting. Because carving takes away material, students often have to learn to problem solve if they accidentally take away the wrong part! This can give them a great lesson in grit and determination.
This project would provide a new experience to my students and show them another medium with which they are not as familiar.
