Over the span of 4-weeks, learn from start-to-finish how to make a photographic image and turn it into a screen print in the first ever PHOTO FARM and Super G Print Lab collab! Students will spend the first two sessions at PHOTO FARM learning the fundamentals of studio lighting and portraiture, followed by a short intro to Adobe Photoshop, with the goal of creating high key lighting for portraits which will then be turned into files that are maximized for Pop Art style screen prints (half-tones and masks).
Super G Print Lab will host the last two sessions of the workshop where you’ll transform your self-portrait into a vibrant a 4-color Warhol-esque screen print. Students begin by using image elements that have been printed using a large format printer onto transparencies which are then “burned” onto screens. After that the real fun starts when the ink goes on the paper - pulling prints! During the workshop you’ll become familiar with the materials, tools, and equipment. Once completed participants will have a strong foundation for further screen printing explorations.
