ZeumMasters Silk Screen!

Heyyyyyyyy my name is Dayana and today we went on a really cool field trip. You ask where? Well i shall tell you. We did silk screening in the mission. It was a lot of fun.

We had been working on them for a while. We first started out with nothing. You could use any image you wanted. You could draw an image or you could pull one of the net. only if it was not copyrighted. So i decided to use some pictures i took at a concert i went to. The concert i went to was called SassyBack Tour with Cobra Starship, Forever The Sickest Kids, Hit The Lights, and Sing It Loud. The pictures i used were of Kyle&Austin from Forever The Sickest Kids. At first i was debating who's picture to use, either Kyle or Austin but then David saved the day and help me put both of the pictures together. After working on our pictures we finally got them printed onto our screens.



Today was the day we went to go print our images on paper. It was really fun - first we had to put ink on the screen. Then somebody would hold it down for you as you spread the ink with the squeegee. Once you spread it with your squeegee you can either add a little more ink and do it again or you can wash it and play with some "fake under painting". At first I just played around with just regular white paper. It was pretty cool how the picture came out. But after I played around with the white paper. I printed on red and yellow paper.The pictures came out good and all I can say is I had a lot of fun and learned so many new things :)
