The gouged out areas do not print.

Wait! What is a relief print?
A relief print is any print in which ink is applied to a raised surface before printing to paper. Potato prints and rubber stamps are examples of relief prints.
This print will be an expression of who you are. It may include what you like, what is most important to you, or what special experiences you've had.
In this project you will:
- Plan the image.
- Transfer the image.
- Carve a design in sheet linoleum. What is cut away will remain white.
- Create an edition of five prints using the same linoleum block.
