Finally, after weeks of school holidays and public holidays, we finally got to go back to class. Let the printmaking begin!

A new technique this week: screen printing. For many people this is something they have tried before but for me this was the first time I’ve tried it. A basic start – using masks/stencils as the means of blocking out the paint. The other part of the technique, photo emulsion, is scheduled for 2 weeks time.

This was a completely different thought process to the printmaking we’ve been doing up until now. It seemed … more graphic? At least that is my sense of the art form. I’m more than OK with that. We printed on to an apron – a great way of creating something usable and a great way of reminding me to make art a part of my world.

Let the learning continue …
