Zines & Screens

What are you passionate about? What can you teach us all?

This class is will explore printmaking as a means of conveying information and basic screen printing that can be done just about anywhere.  We’ll start with a brief history of printmaking as a way of disseminating information, looking specifically into typography, imagery, and clarity of information.  Then students will develop a small zine, which we will then use to identify a keystone image that could be used on posters or tee shirts to solidify the brand of the idea.  We will then burn a screen and print a one-color poster or tees to explore the possibilities of screen printing and to teach student the basics of silkscreen for home use.  Note that it is best for this class to come with a few ideas in mind and that students will need to provide their own tee shirts and poster material.
