Before I began mono-printing, I chose 4 pictures to print out, out of a folder in my Pinterest named 'identity'.
Once I printed those pictures, I laid out newspaper all over a table and put an apron on before I began putting ink onto a board that will be used to do the mono-printing just in case ink went onto my clothes.
I then used a roller to roll out the ink onto the board, however I left some space at the end of the board which will be used in case I put too much ink onto the rest of the board.
Lightly, while not pushing down onto the paper, I went over the whole picture with a pencil. This was to create the mono-print.
After I had finished going over the picture, I took the picture and the paper off the ink and saw the final outcome, which would be the picture printed out onto the ink.
Screen Printing
To start, I went on Adobe Illustrator to print out the logo I had created the previous lesson.
Once printed, using a scalpel knife I cut out the outline of the logo and the outline of the letters in the logo.
Once this procedure was done, I laid out newspaper on the table. I then put a plain piece of paper on top and the stencil I had created of my logo on top of that.
After I did that, I took a pallet and 2 different colours of paint (optional) and a screen, which was laid out on top of the stencil.
I then mixed the paint I had with some glue and brushed some paint on the screen, just above where the stencil was.
With a piece of equipment of which's name I do not know, I brushed the paint down the screen so that it would cover the whole of the stencil underneath.
Once that was done, I removed the screen from the stencil and the stencil from the paper; what should be left over is a screen-printed and coloured version of my logo.
