Screen Printing - Syllabus & Assignment

All of the requirements for the Screen Print project are listed in the syllabus. The image that you choose must be a line art and we will keep it to one color. Actually, you don't even have to print an image; text or a combination of image and text would work. Since screen printing is all about reproducing artwork, you will need to turn in five quality prints. You'll definitely want to print many more than 5 copies so that you have plenty of prints to pick from.

The video below breifly explains the process, using examples and tool from the lab.
