Linocut

A technique of creating art is called a linocut.  A linocut is a piece of linoleum, usually applied to a block of wood and then cut into with carving tools.  When you are carving a linocut you cut out the negative image so that the positive image will show when you are done making a print.

What kind of design would you like to do?  Would other colors make a difference in these pictures?

  1. I would love to do this. It is cool. I would carve a cow for my designs. I do think that other colors would make a difference in the linocuts.

  12. Pretty cool but take forever to make. It would really be horrible to accidently mess up. I wouldn't want to try this knowing i'd probably mess up at some point.

  21. NO, this is difficult and then you get hurt and you bleed for a good 5 minutes and then you get hurt again and you have to get it deep enough which is impossible

  22. This looks like its a dangerous i would hurt my self some how like I do on every project. The tools that he is using are hard to use I don't think i could do the whole project with that tool. I think I would use a brighter color so it catches people eyes.

  23. By constant Practice Emily, you will get used to the tools.
    But How can I get an ebook of linocut technology.
    Any Idea?

  24. These tools slit peoples fingers open. It is very difficult and dangerous. But the picture that comes out is usually pretty cool.

  26. i think that id do a flower design but it is really hard to cut through linoeum

    ReplyDelete
  27. I think that this would be pretty challenging. It would most likely take a long time to do. I would do like a monkey or something like that.

  28. This is weird, i don't like it. It looks hard to do though. It would take a long time to do. And by the time your done you would have a bunch of cuts.

  29. This looks really hard to do and it also looks like it would take a lot of time

  30. I would do an elephant, i've seen some people do this and it looked cool. This looks complicated though.

  31. This is really cool how they made these. It seems like it would be really fun to do in class sometime. It also seems like it would be really time consuming to make this.

  32. These look amazing, whoever did these must be talented and have a lot of patience. I remember doing this, I did a fish. It was harder then it looked like. I would never want to put in that much time or patience into something like this again.

  34. These are pretty cool. The small linoleum project we did was pretty fun and it would be cool if we did a bigger one.

  35. This is really cool. You have to have a lot of patience for this. I could never do this; it has so much detail.

    ReplyDelete
  36. This is really awesome! I don't think i could do something as cool as these people though. I think doing something like this is very time consuming, but cool.

  37. This is really cool, I like how it shows texture and value of an image.

  38. Linoleum prints look really cool, but it is a highly tedious process. It always comes out looking good.

    ReplyDelete
  39. We did thi in art class and it was pretty fun. it was just hard to make precise cuts because the linoleum was hard to cut sometimes. But it would be cool to make some kind of animal

  40. I liked doing this in art class. I did however cut my self quite a bit.It was really fun to make like a stamp type thing.

    ReplyDelete
  41. i enjoy doing this besides when i cut myself. Its fun but it can also be very time consuming. The only thing i thought ws har was trying to get a clean line without messing something else up. You just have to be patient with this project.
