Today we started off by drawing a contour line drawing of a person. This is a difficult drawing technique because it requires you to not pick up your pencil. It is great, however, for teaching students to carefully draw what they see. It is also great practice for teaching your hand and your eyes to work together in the drawing process.

The next thing on our agenda today was to have a demo on how to use the cutting tools to cut our printing plate. Finally, students had the remaining time in class to work on carving out their linoleum printing plate.
