Screenprinting Monday
Hi guys,
Good job today and not too much mess:) Please have all your stencils cut for Monday so it will just be printing. If you want to print on a inkjet print make sure that you use the card stock that we were printing on instead of the regular lab paper. This is a great time to do prints for the poster sale if you are interested in screen printed prints.
You will be required to do at least one two color process print. Think one like the video clip that you saw on the last post. This must be pulled on paper and finished by Monday afternoon. You also have the option to print on fabric if you would like on Monday as well. I will have a batting board set up so you can use pins or you can do the cardboard option like Megan did on Friday. Either one will work fine. Again the required piece of this puzzle that will be put up the classroom is the two color process print. This will have to be done by the end of class on Monday so budget your time wisely. See you then and have a great weekend!
AIGA we will be printing t-shirts in A72 on Monday at 5 pm so don't forget to bring one to do the print on. Katie is going to be getting me the graphic this weekend so if someone is willing to cut it out on Monday before the meeting please let me know.
DON'T FORGET WE WILL BE MEETING IN A72 FOR CLASS AND AIGA MEETING. DON'T GO TO THE DMS LAB.

Screenprinting Friday
We will meet in A72 / large art room next to the wellness center tomorrow. Please bring the following items to class
-blue painters tape
-screen
- please bring duct tape to class (we will be suring up your screens for easier use in the future / creating a well)
-squeege
-clothes that you can get dirty and wet
-contact paper stencil (please go to the dollar store and pick up a roll of contact paper. you will cut the contact paper to the size of the screen. / if you want to pick up a big roll and split the costs.
-select an image that you enjoy (you can make this so it is multi-colored you will need more than one stencil)
-Then tape your image on top of the contact paper / make sure centered and start cutting. When you cut make sure that you are cutting out the dark tones on one stencil and if you want another color or a medium tone make sure that you are only cutting out those colors. This can work just like 4 color process if you want it to. When making cuts make sure that all the white areas have connection points or your stencil becomes a much bigger area than you would like.
Please come to class with your stencil cut. This will save us time in the studio instead of waiting for cutting mats to free up we can just get started printed. If nervous about how to do this feel free to wait but realize this cuts down on your studio time and we won't be able to have access to this on a regular basis so use your time wisely.
This will give you an idea of what we are doing tomorrow.
