I first began by choosing what art group I was interested in. We had three art groups to choose from. (Houses, Birds, Pacific) I went in the House group Lets get starer.
First step was to grab a piece of paper and computer in case I needed to put some ideas down. I had to find pictures of houses on hills and choose one that I liked. Finally the fun stuff happened and I created my design. I got a big bit of white paper with the lino in it and scribble madly until the square is covered with pencil that will leave a light out line for you to copy and make a dark traces on the lino.
Time for the main thing - carving. I carved my tree, chimney and a roof out ready to ink up. Once my lino piece was inked and printed I had to wash it and leave it to dry. I then had carve out some more. I had to do this three times to get three layers. It was really confusing trying to work out what I wanted left a certain colour. I had to cut out that on my lino.
