About Me

I'm am immersing my self in an arts-based research project for my MA in Arts Education at Boston University. The purpose of this art-based project is to pick an art form that I have no or little knowledge about & learn by doing. I am a middle school art teacher in Berkshire County, MA. You can visit my art room blog here: http://mvrmsart.blogspot.com/ I have my absolute dream job! What is better than creating art with talented, funny and creative students all day long! After finishing my thesis and my MA degree, my goal is to implement screen-printing into an art elective class, "Fine Crafts" this upcoming Spring. Follow me on my journey through the discoveries & some-times set backs of an artist-teacher!

Can I rename this blog the Screen-Printing Disaster?

I cannot tell you how frustrated I am with this? How in the world am I suppose to teach students his when I can't even do it myself. God, they teach this in schools, and summer camps, why can't an educated 33 year old art teacher with soon to be 4 college degrees get this right! At this point, I don't even care. I'll just write about how I cannot teach it in my thesis. That it is unteachable, difficult, and a waste of money and time.
Acetate Templates

Taping them down

With the aid of the lightbox

Applying the ink

Flooding the Screen


Bad Print, and Multiple Bad Prints after this one. Ink is leaking under the acetate stencil. I hate this.
