Casting Coins

This wonderful art lesson invites students to design and “mint” coins bearing their own symbols. A simple carving andcasting process using Blick Wonder-Cut®linoleum and modeling clay is described in the plan. Coins can be one or 2-sided, and degree of detail can be adjusted according to age level. Another fabulous art lesson.
