Objective:
Screenprinting involves adhering a stencil to a screen frame which will allow or block the ink when the squeegee passes over.
The master image must be high contrast (B&W, no grays), bold and simple, and printed on ordinary 20lb bond copy paper with dense ink. The master is used to “burn” the image with UV light onto a screen frame pre-coated with light sensitive emulsion. The light hardens the emulsion so the areas blocked by the ink on the master wash away with water.
The master is a right-reading positive image which can be made digitally in Photoshop, Procreate, Illustrator, etc. and printed out with any laser printer.

Rational:
For my representation image I wanted to portray a theme of my love for milk. Even though, for some people they may be lactose intolerant, i wanted to display a strong and triumphant feat of drinking as much milk as I do. Which is why I compared this to things like dinosaurs, planes, and fire.
