I’ll flood your screen.
January 26, 2009
I love a challenge. That being said, I’m not a huge fan of things that feel nearly impossible for me to accomplish. Today was my first day working alone in Printmaking and for the first two hours I seriously considered running to the Registrar’s Office to check for an opening in Photo II. It’s not that I don’t like it–I actually really love it–but I just can’t get the hang of it. The emulsion scraped off when I rinsed the screen, I can’t apply enough pressure when I’m pulling, and the damned power washer scares the shit out of me. After having a near meltdown, Ryan came back to class and helped me pull 16 (near) perfect flats. Granted, they’re just flats, but compared to the attempts I had on my own, I feel as though I have something to be excited about. Wednesday will be helping him pull and getting my halftone sorted out so I can finish up the project.
The evening will be rounded out by trying to force down some dinner, running for an hour of dance, and a FTW meeting. What a night.
