This week’s Munch & Learn was about the Dixon’s outreach program to bring the arts to children in an era of increasing arts cutbacks. I wasn’t sure what to expect (anything with “pedagogy” in the title tends to induce hesitation rather than enthusiasm), but it turned out to be well worth attending. The speaker was Sarah Hall, Outreach Coordinator for Art To Grow. She is a one-woman art powerhouse bringing hands-on art experiences to children within a 60-mile radius of the Dixon (yes, that includes other states). After explaining the program, she gave the attendees an opportunity to engage in a hands-on art-making activity. This is my linoleum (lino-cut material, not old-school linoleum) carving & print:

So, how is lino-cut material different from the old linoleum?
Looks like you had fun; good for her!
It’s more like the eraser carving stuff, but not really “like butter” (though she said that, lol). It’s much firmer than the eraser carving material, but definitely easier than regular linoleum stuff.
