Working with the Orono High School on our Linoleum Prints

This week, March 25th 2022 we are working with the Orono High School's Gifted and Talented Program and Jessica Barnes to help us with creating our linoleum prints for our edible landscape cookbook for the Blue Hill Heritage Trust. This cookbook is being made possible by grants generously donated by Alton ’38 and Adelaide Hamm Campus Activity Fund.

Working with these students helps create a better understanding for us as student teachers for working with High School kid, as the majority of our class has only had explicit past work with K-8 students from the Art Education ArtWorks! Program. These students each created either linoleum or easy-cut block print for the cookbook and will be acknowledged within the book for their works. We thank them for all their hard efforts as we know carving a block takes hours outside of class time which they had to do to finish it and return it to us. We printed multiple editions of each block so that students would have a copy of their work.
