WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PRINTMAKING (SILKSCREEN PRINTING) AND PAINTING? WHICH DO YOU PREFER AND WHY?
My Reflections: Painting involves us to mix the colours and make new colours ourselves while printmaking only involves us to print with a templete. I prefer painting as it is hard and I can use it to challenge myself
