Gr. 12 Media Arts Class Learns to Screen Print

Media Arts students took a trip down the road to Acme Screen Printing and Embroidery to watch the winning design from the Grad T-Shirt Design Contest be printed onto shirts for our graduating students.  George Merjavec, owner of Acme, showed the students how to transfer Emily Raite’s design from the computer, to a stencil, to a commercial screen and finally onto the shirts.  Students were able to try their hand at printing using the commercial equipment.  The shirts should be ready for distribution in homerooms on Friday, June 14th.

Gr. 12 Media Art Culminating Projects

Courtney Heyman has had a love for owls all semester (and for likely much longer).  After designing her owl themed cards before Christmas she decided to continue with that theme  for her culminating project.  She had her owl design made into a stamp and created everything needed for an owl themed party.  She created invitations, place cards, and stationary digitally, and hand stamped wrapping paper, gift bags, and ribbons.
