Gel Medium

This is my gel medium photo. It's a photo of my friend looking like a 'bad' girl (type of clothing and type of shoes) and doing something you wouldn't think she would be doing which is reading a book in the library about the game CHESS. 

I had lots of fun doing this photography process and i would LOVE to do it again and again. I loved when you were finished with the thousands of layers of glue and you put it in the water to take the paper away, and you start seeing the photo, it's a good feeling. It lets you know you did it right and not only did you do it right, you did it goooooood.

I love the way this process works. It seems so complicated in the end when other people that haven't done it before see it a go 'WHOA THATS SO COOL HOW'D YOU DO THAT' and you say 'well, i'm a genius is all'. The funny part was that I was one of those people............

ANYWAYS i wish you could have felt and looked at my gel medium in person but i guess that won't work! I hope you like mine anyways. Enjoy!

Silk Screen Printing

So for the first process I did silk screen printing. The first photo is of the whole shirt with the design printed 3 times. The second photo i took is just to see the 3 designs closer and in more detail (sorry that it`s not straight and you`re going to have to tilt your head). This photo is of my friend looking like a `nerd` but lighting a cigarette. I went with a classic and made my message `Don`t Judge A Book By It`s Cover` aka `Don`t Judge A Person By The Way They Appear`. I used this message by using a person doing something you wouldn`t think they would do.

I really loved doing this process (silk screening) because their are so many steps you learn and every step is fun. Stapling the fabric, putting on the emulsion, rubbing the picture on the silk screen, everything was useful to learn and i loved it very much. I would like to use this process anytime for anything.
