In week 5 we learnt how to make a image for screen printing on photoshop 6, by using photoshop 4 first because it is the only version with a 'half tone screen'. But I decided to not to use photoshop but instead draw my design on an A4 piece of paper then using the printer I scanned my design enlarging it to A3.
Week 6 we learnt how to make our prints, i realised it is very process driven.
- Coating- A light sensitive a photographic emulsion is applied
- Exposing- UV light exposes your image stencil onto your screen
- Printing- You print your images
- Cleaning- The photographic stencil is removed to start again.
In week 7 we learnt about different types of paper which is made differently, whether its the weight/thickness or what the paper is made of.
We were then given 4 different types of paper for our prints.
- Thin Cartridge
- Brown Paper
- Wet Strength Paper
- Canvas Embosed Cartridge
While printing I used one of my friends print design as well as using my own.
This is her design:
After doing so many prints I realised I did a few mess ups, mainly because I was spreading the ink over the screen too hard which is why the print didn't come out clearly. But after my prints I decided to collage my butterfly designs on my posters to create a pop up effect to my art piece. Here are my final pieces.
In this piece I used the sunflower design Emily made and Collaged the butterflies around it, then used baking paper I decided to use it for the words Get Grounded as the paper is see-through so you can still see the print under the print design.
This Design my most favourite because the pink and blue go together perfectly, I was kinda experimenting with the brown paper butterfly print over the blue print and to my surprise it worked really well then using a black vivid i wrote the words Get grounded around the butterflies.
