SHOWCASE PRINTS!!

So far these are some of my favorite prints from the first day of printing.. This is impressive work!

Maintain Your A!!!

All students will be given a mini progress report this week! This will give them an opportunity to see what missing grades they have or what they could re-do to improve their grades. Take advantage of the opportunity and the time I give you in class to work on these assignments! Good luck and HAPPY PRINTING!!!

Lets Get Prinitng!

Today we begin printing in the lab! We watched the next YOU TUBE video on MONOPRINTING WITH A PRESS

 Watch it here: Monopriting with a press

We have learned how to:

• Roll ink out
• Ink up background plate
• Ink up Stencils 
• Run plate through the press  

Check it out!!!!!

 

Sensational Stencils

We have finally started out stencil cutting! Students are following the steps from my you-tube video Monopriting: creating a stencil.

Step 1:Tape down the image and tape down the velum on top of the image.

Step 2: Trace the outside (contour) of the image on the dull side of the velum

Step 3: Remove tape and image from under the velum

Step 4: Cut out image with an x-acto knife leaving a positive and a negative stencil

Students need 5-7 stencils cut out for PRINTING DAY!

Materials:
Pencil
Scissors
X-acto
Printed Images
Velum (Stencil Paper)

Monopritning Begins!!

Students are ready to start bringing in all of their creative imagery for the monopriting project!

HOMEWORK this week was to collect 3-5 images based on the THEME that they picked for the project. images printed must make for a good SILHOUETTE image. Below in the video that I created showing the steps to create a stencil for the project. This video shows from searching the internet for images to tracing and cutting out the stencil.
