It is also known as <b>silkscreen</b>, <b>serigraphy</b>, and <b>serigraph printing</b>. A word processor file called "Screen printing basics 1" has been added to the <a href="http://artclasses.maryadam.com/tutorials.html" target="_blank">Tutorial </a>(password-protected) section of the art classes website. In the file I describe the different types of stencils used in screen printing and the types of images for which each one is best suited.<br />

raise a small family in Annaghdown, County Galway, Ireland. As a couple
that share their main interest in art, they draw inspiration and
encouragement from each other. Their latest project is Galway Art School
which opened its doors in January 2012 offering art courses for all
ages and levels of ability. Both Susanna and Colm have a passion for
teaching and both feel strongly that art skills can be taught, and that
art education can and should build the students confidence. Look up their current courses on <a href="http://www.galwayartschool.com/links.php?272261">http://www.galwayartschool.com/links.php?272261 </a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.galwayartschool.com/links.php?272261">Galway Art School</a>Mary Adamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02928467917550027272noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888482308267567102.post-42459071022306270632011-12-26T08:52:00.000-08:002011-12-27T12:42:43.300-08:00Art Classes blog<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<span style="font-size: large;">T</span>his new blog is a companion to my <a href="http://artclasses.maryadam.com/" target="_blank">Art Classes Online</a> website. In here I will put announcements about:<br />
<ul>
<li>additions to the website</li>
<li>upcoming courses or workshops </li>
<li>links to useful stuff for artists and instructors </li>
<li>sometimes a how-to article.</li>
</ul>
I'm continually building the <a href="http://artclasses.maryadam.com/" target="_blank">Art Classes Online</a> site behind the scenes. Of particular interest is finding ways to teach things that are normally difficult to teach online. Some progress has been made. For example the issue of "finding one's style" is of concern to many aspiring artists. Tutoring can help by offering guidance on the best approaches to take. Such guidance needs to be tailored to the individual but there are principles and theory which are helpful to know and which I am adding to the site. This part of the site is password-protected, as are some other sections which have information that has been hard-won over many years and which is now being made available to students. <br />
<br />
Another new feature is critiques on request. Critiques are constructive and perceptive and are delivered within 24 hours. See <a href="http://artclasses.maryadam.com/critiques.html" target="_blank">here </a>for details.Mary Adamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02928467917550027272noreply@blogger.com0
