History of Relief Prints
After the invention of paper artists were able to explore many methods of creativity. It was soon realized that carving out of wood would create a sort of stamp that could be reproduced multiple times. Help came along with the invention of the printing press and now mass reproduction could happen effectively and quickly. Printmaking was the originator of the newspaper and graphics found therein.

Process of Positive negative space and contrast
There are no values in linoleum cuts, it is based solely on high contrasting lines. It is therefore critical to think in positive and negative space. What is white and what is black. The image will be a reverse of what is drawn onto the linoleum so if adding words make sure they are backwards to begin with so they will print correctly. Direction of line will create movement and mood, so design your line!
