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!

Third time is NOT a charm

This isn't working. I finally figured out how to do the flood sweep of ink, and I experimented with adding chip board to the backing board. I tried one piece, then two than back to one. With once piece of board  I now have clear edges for the most part. But there is still waaaaaay too much ink on the print, and the print is rippled and bubbly. At this point I'm getting really frustrated! How in the world am I going to teach this when I have gone through 50 pages of paper and an ENTIRE container of ink.
Any suggestions?
