A linocut is categorized as a relief print. In relief printing, ink from the top surface of the plate is used to stamp paper.
Woodcuts and engravings are also forms of relief prints. Essentially, the process of making a linocut parallels that of woodcut, but it uses linoleum instead of wood; this softer material allows for easier carving.
While carving into linoleum, the parts that will remain white are cut away, leaving behind the sections that will print black (or in color if applicable). Picasso popularized linocuts, but historically they were mainly seen as a student's practice technique for woodcuts.
I would suggest imparting the wisdom of India, encapsulated in stories, symbols, rituals, and enhancing the beliefs of individuals in that regard.
