Screen Printing

This is the screen printing project we did.  For this one I took an image of my cat Nala sleeping curled up and then created shapes that show that in illustrator with the pen tool.  Then we went to the print studios and learned about how to make the screens and how to print and ultimately how to also wash the equipment.  The colour I picked was mostly yellow with a little red and a lot of transparency so it would come out pretty light.  It came out how I wanted which is a combination between my cat's tan fur and her yellow eyes, leaning more towards the yellow eyes because tan is harder to make in colour and I made three different prints from it.  The whole process was really fun and interesting and I hope I can do more printing in the future.
