Vector who? Laser engrave what? What sorcery is this?!

Vector art is composed of computer-generated points, lines, and shapes which are capable of creating logos, artwork, and other graphic assets for companies.  Students will explore ways vectors can be used—such as laser engraving on wood or even screen printing onto t-shirts.

Learn the “old school” way to print. Then impress your friends and family with custom made note cards, wrapping paper, and more created from stamps envisioned and made by your hands. We’ll focus on learning printmaking techniques you can do at home—including monoprints and collagraphs.

Learn the process of screen printing that pros use to make posters, tote bags, t-shirts, and more. Then we’ll show you a way to screenprint at school, from home…anywhere! Make it POP! by hand painting with watercolor or fabric paints. Your field trip kit provides everything students need to print their own poster and tote bag!

In this hands-on field trip, students use watercolors and dyes to learn about cochineal ecology and conduct a variety of visual chemistry experiments. Don't worry, it all makes sense as we go along! Just be prepared to be dazzled by color in a whole new way!
