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!

One last try

So, the most popular method of screen method is the photo emulsion method. For whatever reason, I started with paper stencils which proved to be the most challenging. Photo emulsion is suppose to be the easiest and best for registration and accuracy for detail. So, it may be good for teaching. I do not have the ink jet transparency film as I cannot find it locally with such short notice. I need to be done with the research in a few days. I cannot wait for the mail. So I guess I will just draw with black markers on acetate. If this works, that may be a good way to do this with my students.
