Screen Printing Comments

March 20, 2007

The process of screen printing for the novice artist includes learning to accept that not every image will be perfect. It is OK to have some imperfections in the final image. Sometimes imperfections are art in themselves. In my case, William Johnson’s work “Ambulance on the Go”, the telephone poles did not completely transfer to the fabric, even though I followed the procedures. Perhaps the cliché: “practice makes perfect” is an additional lesson for me as well.
Overall the whole screen printing project was a satisfying experience, because I got to see the results of my personal creation. In addition this is an experience that I can take with me beyond the class.
