OBJECTIVES:3. Create a plate from linoleum• BE SAFE! Pay attention to safety tips during demo
- Cut away from your body, not towards• Remember that your plate will print everything backwards
- Flip sketch upside down and trace over your lines to get the reverse image
• Use different gouges to create a variety of line weights.• IMPORTANT - Carved out areas will not print in ink; they
will be left the paper color.
