Middle–High School:
A surprisingly fun intro to block printing and design! For this one, we took block erasers and turned them into mini stamps. Students carved a simple, symmetrical design using lino tools or small chisels (nothing too deep—you want to keep your eraser intact!).
Once their stamps were ready, they gridded off their final paper and got to printing. They could rotate their design on all six sides of the square, combining it in different ways to build up their composition. We played with color, layering, and repetition—and the results were clean, bold, and totally creative.
Why it works:This one taps into symmetry and spatial awareness in a hands-on way that students really respond to. The erasers are easy to carve, making this technique way less intimidating than full-blown linocuts. Plus, it’s low-mess and high payoff, so you can run this project even when you don’t have a full printmaking setup. Bonus? It sneaks in geometry and pattern while keeping the creative energy high. Win-win.
