Screen Printing sketching

I had decided that I would take an art class this semester - But then the registration day snuck up on me. I had been really busy and had three different classes I was not sure of which I really wanted to take - SO I signed up for 3 -hahaha. A screen printing class, alternative photography, and a relief printmaking class too...  I decided to go to all 3 classes and THEN decide... and I began to really consider taking ALL 3!!! (Plus a math class I HAVE to take.) -- I have not decided what is best for me to do... but they ALL look so cool!!! 

I have been sitting here tonight sketching some screen print designs - and it is just so COOL! - Part of me feels uninterested in it... because of everything else that I am working on and because I am already working on stencils.... but what I find really cool about what the teacher asked us to do is to create a simple ONE cut image. The teacher had cut out an outline of a bird - and it was just so simple yet detailed and beautiful. He asked us to sketch out something simple - a snail, palm tree, spray can - just to start off with.... 

Tonight I sat here looking at one of my stencils and then had an idea of making a face out of ONE continuous cut out piece - It is soooo cool to think that it is just one piece cut out of the paper... it almost doesn't seem like it could be "one" shape! I just find it so cool and interesting. Much less that I can then cut out other lil shapes out and have a super detailed ONE stencil piece... Kinda makes me excited to "try" things.... the challenge....

- HAHAHA -- it is totally the PROCESS
