Mr. Bryan wrote or illustrated more than 70 children’s books over six decades, in addition to making paintings, linoleum block prints, collage works, hand puppets and elaborate stained glass windows, which he crafted from sea glass that washed up near his home on Little Cranberry Island, overlooking Acadia National Park in Maine.

Mr. Bryan shifted his style depending on the story he was telling, moving from woodcut or linoleum block prints to watercolor and acrylic paint.

The studio belonged to Gwen Frostic, who made stationery and prints from linoleum block carvings.

I may go from teaching seventh- and eighth-graders how to create GIFs in the Mac lab, to the studio in the “Art Barn” where I get to make a mess teaching high school students to make intricate patterns with linoleum block prints.

In relief printing techniques, the portion of wood or linoleum block that is cut away with a blade creates the contour of the linear shapes that will be printed.
