Says LT Ball Intermediate School 5th grade blogger Kennedy, describing their class art project:

Hello, we are learning about MC Escher. We are doing rotational symmetry, rotational symmetry is when you make one design and it can be turned any direction and look the same. We are doing our own design on our lino. [Emma Marlowe is showing] how you cut the lino block. We are making our design to print 12 times to make one piece. When we pull the paper from the block we going to pull the print. We are using a blade and bench hook, we put our bench hook on the table and then we use the blade to cut our design.
