Self Portrait
This first project is to get you acquainted with the various aspects of screen printing. Including mixing photo emulsion, coating screens and exposing.
Doing color separations, mixing color, registration and of course printing.
Create a self portrait that expresses some aspect of your personality. It must have some figural reference in the final piece, but it does not necessarily have to be a traditional head shot, and it may be either realistic or abstract or somewhere in between. (You could consider doing one that is: symbolic, superhero, just waking up, sad, nude, highly caffeinated, funny etc). What does the choice of pose tell you about the person? (Shy, confident, modest, romantic, confrontational or neutral), What is the setting or background if any?
