Completion Blog 9/23

Originally, my goal was to complete the APUSH shirts but part way through the cycle my goal was changed to completing 25 of the student section shirts.

I chose this goal because we hadn’t been able to find the artwork for the APUSH shirts and this fit better into the schedule. This goal is important because there are a lot of students waiting on the student section shirts. This goal is beneficial because it will not only help us further learn how to print shirts but it will help the other east classes that are trying to strengthen our student section.

I was not completely successful in accomplishing my target. We got all of the fronts of the small shirts printed (15) but we did not get the insides printed and our goal was 25 shirts.

This goal was very challenging because it was changed part-way through the cycle and I worked hard every day, yet I still did not meet my goal. I did not meet my goal because we weren’t able to start printing until the final week of the cycle and this was not enough time to complete 25 shirts.

Below is a picture of the front of one of the 15 shirts we did complete.

  • This week, I was getting started on the student section t-shirts. (Printing the transperencies and burning the screens)
  • Next week, I am going to focus on actually starting to print the shirts.
  • I don’t need help with anything in particular.
  • I don’t need to learn anything new at the moment.
  • My self-assessment of my progress for this week is an A because I stayed on task and completed what I needed to.

Progress Blog 9/9/16

This week, I was learning how to emulsion and burn screens so that I can eventually do the APUSH screen on my own.

Next week, I am going to focus on printing the APUSH shirts.

I would like help with my technique when printing.

I still don’t know how to reclaim screens.

My self-assessment of my progress for this week is a B because I completed my goal but did not stay on task the whole time.

Completion Goal 9/6

What was your goal?

  • We will create a screen and print a shirt.

How does this goal fit into the larger picture? 

  • The benefit of this goal is so that I will know how to make screens and print t-shirts so that I can do them on my own in the future and fill orders.

Were you successful in accomplishing your target?

  • I was partly successful in that I printed multiple shirts but I did not get to burn a screen. The reason for this is that Mr. Updegraff is a slacker. It was challenging enough because we didn’t even have time to complete it.
