  2. What will we be learning by doing our next project? We will: • Examine drawings, stencils and silkscreens done by various artists • Create our own negative image stencil design • Learn how to set up a basic screen printing station • Learn how to handle materials properly • Silkscreen onto papers and fabric using the indirect stencil method

  3. What is Silkscreening? • Silkscreen printing has a history closely intertwined with stencil use. • To create a screen print, a stencil is used to block out certain areas of the screen while other areas remain open to let ink pass through. • Silkscreening is a simple, dynamic way of creating multiple images.

  4. Examples of silkscreening • Keypads of cellphones • Calculators • Hats • Clothing • If you have clothing with any logo or design, you’ve probably been screened!

  5. Let’s look at your clothing… • Is the ink puffy or flat to the fabric? • Has the T-Shirt been washed many times or is it brand new? • How is the design positioned on the clothing?

  6. Examples of Stencils • In order to create a silkscreened image, a stencil must be made first.

  7. This is probably the earliest known stencil made over 10,000 years ago, called Cave of the Hands. • The composition was made by hollowing out bones to make pipes that were then used for spraying the paint on the wall blocked by the hand.
