Today, we took a window and a piece of the collograph that seemed interesting. We then decided how big we want the linograph to be. Conceptually, we were creating an interesting discovery and moving forward with it.
- Took a pencil, freely marking the surface of the linograph, indicating the ideas of our square.
Things to keep in mind:
- negotiate your way through the surface
- linograph is an acquired art
- surface of the lino is shiny, skiddy, and plasticy
- lino tool: fits in the palm of the hand so it's comfortable cutting through and continuous pressure to help keep cutting
- practice to get the angle right, taking out a line of the linoleum
- be careful of it skidding and cutting hand
- the hand that you don't use keep out of the line of the hand that you do use
- tough to use when cutting but keep practicing
