The History of the T-Shirt

Watch the slides from today's lesson about the history of the t-shirt. 

Homework # 1

Some of my Inspirations would be just the thing that I interact with like Video Games. I like video games because of the detail put into the video games. I also am interested by Upper Playground because their art gives you a new perspective on things that they have drawn. Like Michael Jordan Famous Dunk they had a drawing from an Ariel view. Life just inspires me because of the different things that can happen at one time.

I seem to have different taste in clothing than most people, rummaging through my closet and draws I noticed that I have many Averix sweaters. I found around 6 sweaters ranging from light wear to heavy wear. I don't really like jackets, sometimes they are too heavy. For Christmas my aunt gave me this nice looking sweater, white background and a black skull right in the front. I talked to my cousin and told him of an idea for a sweater. Same style, like the one my aunt gave me, but in the teeth would be the name of his band he liked the idea and pictured it. I like this desgin becuase it is simple and shows what kind of band he is in. I just don't really care what i wear as long as i wear something, if it looks nice then it would be a bonus.

At my school we now have project week for a week and a half. I'm in this group called "Propagate the Propaganda" and we're screening things and printing on paper and t-shirts. This is my second time being in this project week.  We're not doing the same things at Upward Bound but the process is very similar.

This is my screen from last year. I really liked doing this design, it was the most demanded last year, but i didn't print enough.  This will always be my favorite. Before I have to get rid of it, I'm going to make a few more tees..

Obama Obama!!!

Last week I told you this class idea blossomed from the thousands of Obama shirts that blew up after the Nov. 4th election a few months ago. Here are a few pics of some Obama shirts that will be featured in a book coming out shortly. Click here to see more pics.
