WCC Day Six:

Screen printing–when done for real, not mocked on digital software–involves breaking a design into its basic shape elements, which are painted onto “screens” (think just like the ones covering your windows) by color and then pressed onto a blank surface, such as cloth or canvas. One of the most beneficial factors of this process is that an imprint can be made over and over again with the same screen, which allows for large-scale production of the design. Andy Warhol made the process famous in the art world, but today the technique has largely faded out due to more efficient means of production. The style, however, remains influential; just take the iconic Obama poster from last’s fall’s presidential election.
