Block Printing Workshop Ages 13yrs-19yrs+ Ganji, Elizabeth Spring 2025 Arts
- General Art
Schedule: Thursday - Art Studio - 129: 2:00 pm - 3:20 pm
Description:In this class, students will be taught the ancient art of block printing using linocut technique. Working within a loose theme for each assignment, projects will begin with composition and design in the form of a drawing, pulling from the student’s own inspiration and reference photos. Students will transfer the drawing from paper onto linoleum slabs and carve out the design using a kit of carving blades. Printing ink will then be rolled on and paper pressed to create a series of original handmade prints and cards. Once created, block prints can be used an endless amount of times! This class is workshop style, giving students the space to freely work at their own pace following instruction at the beginning of each class. Printing days will be scheduled throughout the semester to print all completed blocks to date. This is an art form that takes time and pacing will be different for each student. My intention is for students to deep dive into this art and to do so will require a slow down and moving along at the artist’s individual pace to achieve mastery of the assignment and joy in the process. Homework: Students will be asked to brainstorm at home for subject matter that is meaningful to them for their own block print designs. It will be suggested they bring in a few printed reference photos or photographs of their own. These can be landscapes, pets, objects of personal importance, etc. Students will have a sketchbook that will be kept in the classroom for the duration of the semester, but if your student has a strong interest in this art form, it is recommended to also have a sketchbook at home for taking down new ideas and sketches for future prints that can be brought to and from class. At the end of the semester, students will have the option to keep their carving kit for at home projects.
Requirements:Due to the nature of the sharp carving tools used in this class, students must be able to follow directions well and be open to slowing down to put the required time into the details of the project.
