On Friday we finished our collaborative screen print during our print room induction:
What I learnt:
- The process of screen printing (although I'd already learnt a bit at Vernon Street, I'd just forgotten most of it)
- I really really like screen printing, and I can definitely see myself doing it more on my own in the future, I just need to practice it a bit more
- That chunky images and thick lines look most effective on screen prints, or maybe a mix of thick and thin, rather than just all thin lines like we used
- Chinograph is a great way to achieve great, hand-drawn looking line qualities in a screen print
What could have gone better:
- The design of the screen print was great in practice but when we can to apply it I thought it looked a bit lifeless as we intended it in the middle of the page. I preferred the prints where we repeated the mark making layer across the page
- The colours could have been kept separate more as the blue and pink were great individually but mixed to make a purple which wasn't awful but wasn't what we intended.
