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!

Working with Stencils

Deciding which
 color inks will go with which stencils

Taping up the screen 

Hmm...not really working the way I want it too...

Maybe if I trim the stencil and...

Use a light box...

YES! I actually figured something out!

Putting the ink on

Flooding the Screen


Details bleed :(

Try again


Even worse!

So I figured out that the paper stencil is too think and the ink leaks through the back causing the bleeding that you see here. This weekend I will try making stencils from acetate instead of paper.
