Week 6 manipulating the image.

We started preparing for screen printing this week on monday which it really exciting and I think I'll enjoy screen printing. We prepared our screen with emulsion, and put our designs on them, the water blaster is fun to use. It was really cool to learn the basics of screen printing, and finally using photoshop and kind of enjoying it. My design is simple but I think its good, it should look good printed, especially with black on the brown paper, it'll look really organic. I also painted up so brown paper with pastel colours to make an interesting background to print on, but my paint made the paper too wrinkly so I'm not going to use it. Lesson learned: don't make your paint too watery! On tuesday Emma was absent so I attempted to make more painted backgrounds but they didn't work out very well either, oh well. Maybe I'll try again before I print next week. I was disappointed that we couldn't print on tuesday because I was really excited to but thats alright there is always next week.
