Screen Printing

Before starting my screen print I had to make sure I had variety of paper fabric, wallpaper, newspaper ect...
I had to draw out the shape I wanted on a piece of paper then copy it on a transparent paper to use it often by cutting it out. I had to used Drafting film to measure the correct size for my screen. I then chose my ink colour that I wanted to use (orange). I had to find  squeeing to fit the width of my screen, fix the screen to the table ans screwing the hooks. Moreover I had to line my drofting film stencil underneath so that the edges wont become expose. I then had to get my paper newspaper ect ready to place them underneath the screen and stencil. i had to use a card to scoop the ink onto the tope boarder to dob every along then width of the screen. I had to make sure that I firm pressure on the screen without stopping on holding the squeegee with both at 45 angle to the table and drag it. I had to repeat all this stages for all the print i printed which are below ...


Triangle are found in my Tate Modem postcard which I've decided to use as my print screen. 


This piece was printed out in brawn paper. It doesn't look
 attractive perhaps because of the brawn paper used which make the piece more dull.


 This print  worked for me because the wallpaper is brighter and has a design in it(boat) 
The orange print, printed out well and work well with the paper.


I printed this out of newspaper, I don't like it because it looks like
 the print is fading away due to the background which take away the brightness of the orange colour.
