Screen Print Planning

After yesterdays grim rainy day, today felt so much better and I think we got a lot more done. After we had our print room tour we went into our groups to try and come up with a plan for our print. We came up with the idea of basing our image around the shape of a foot-print, and have all the materials I'd collected around the feet as if they'd been left on the floor. This was the initial sketch of that idea:

After we'd decided to go with this idea we made footprints on paper outside and then photocopied them to make them grey scale. We traced the patterns of these on to the clear plastic stuff using chinagraph pencil, this looked ace because you could see all the pencil lines. Then we added the photocopied leaves and receipts and drew on some puddles. 

This was our outcome, we're going to do more work to it tomorrow, then start working on our second sheet which will be a noise map made using different mark making techniques. I'm really excited for it, I'm also really going to try and pay close attention to how to use the print room as last year I only used it once and I'd like to challenge myself to feel more comfortable using it.
