Movement Through Time Project - Week 3 - Stencil Printing (02/02/23)

Today I did another stencil print. This print is of Mr.Mush as he just came out of a time portal. It is based off of the animation that I made last week. I am really enjoying working with shapes, simplifying my images for the stencil process.

I chose the colour red as the background as it is often used to signal danger and as scientists consider time travel (moving through time) to be dangerous I thought it might suit well.

Background layer (layer 1) :

The print reminds me of an image from a comic book. It's striking and eye catching.

This is my second layered stencil print this week and I am finding that with practice my registering skills are getting better. There not quite there yet but practice makes perfect !

Movement Through Time Project - Week 3 - Stencil Printing (03/02/23)

Today I did another two layered stencil print but on coloured card this time. This was more of a pattern piece unlike my other pieces that were more focused on producing a single image.

I chose brown as I was going for an old fashioned look. The layers consist of different clocks that I found around my house. Some of them look modern and others look antique therefore showing the movement through time. Often in films and shows (e.g. the twilight zone) that depict time travel multiple clocks are shown to indicate the passing of time

Here was my first layer : I did my prints on brown and gre card to see which colour suited best.

Then I added my second layer

Afterwards I experimented with adding in typewritter text on the page with the words associated with my concept. I wasn't very happy with this but I was glad that I gave the idea a try especially since I had multiple prints so I might as well try to develoup them further.

An example of my primary resource for this piece (my kitchen clock) :

I really enjoyed the stencil printing this week and I am going to miss it so much. It was so therapeutic and once you got the hang of the steps and had an idea in mind the rest was a piece of cake.
