screen printing
In this class we did three screen printing projects first we started out with a green film that was water soluble in which we choose an image and used exact-o knives to cut out the emulsion next we went on to a blue film that was light sensitive and we used a light box of sorts to burn the image into the emulsion.
Likes: I enjoyed using the blue film the most and I enjoyed seeing the finished product especially on projects like the t-shirt.
Dislikes: I didn't like the green emulsion that much because it was hard to cut accurately and capture small details.

Green film

This is a print of the green film. in this image all the details were and cut with exact-o knives. the next step in the process was to then adhere the film to a screen. in which we used an adhering chemical and lots of elbow grease when the film dried which took about a half an hour we were to peel the plastic off the back of the green film finally we were then able to print.
Blue film

This is a print of blue film. blue film, is light sensitive film so to adhere it to our screen we first put it under a light bow with a digital ink jet printer version of our image. after the image was burned into the film we placed the film into multiple chemicals to help in develop, and finally it was placed into a sink in which it was rinsed in warm water and during this process it washed away the excess emulsion so you could now see you image in the film. After that we then rolled the film onto the screen and we were ready to print.

This project followed suit with the before blue film project but instead of paper we printed T-shirts.
