Application of pattern in

screen printing

(1) Development and evolution of technology and patterns
The patterns in screen printing constitute a special language and form, which is both decorative and practical. It is the attribute of the pattern, which represents the different ideological changes of human beings in each period, symbolizes the further innovation of technology, and can also be used. It is said to be a sign of changes in aesthetics and living habits. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, batik printing has been very common. As the predecessor of

screen printing

, it was used as a stencil printing fabric printed with fine mesh on the screen frame during the Daye period of the Sui Dynasty. The plate tool is divided into two types: embossed layout and hollow plate type. One plate body is slightly thicker for pressing, and the other plate body is thinner for smearing and coloring. With the new development of this craft, in the Tang Dynasty, the clothes worn by the palace maids were printed with elegant and delicate patterns of bees and butterflies. People’s longing for a better life and a happy life followed, followed by the influx of foreign cultures, and the patterns and patterns changed from a complex to a simple trend. This makes the patterns of traditional clothing: begin to focus on modeling rather than decoration, and the simplification of stripes and patterns has become popular. The original process technology was introduced to Japan and Europe. At the same time as it was introduced to Japan, the original oil-based paint could no longer meet people’s needs for silk screen printing, and the printing paint for

screen printing

in the Song Dynasty began to change. , I began to try to make the division more viscous. I tried to add starch substances to the paint to make the paint thicker and form a paste for printing, which made the screen printing products more colorful and greatly improved the original use. oil-based paint.
After this, the British were inspired by the “Japanese pattern” and completed it as a photolithography for screen printing. After the reform and opening up, with the improvement of living standards and technology, the introduction of foreign advanced technology, screen printing technology and related research and development have further developed.
(2) Application of art form in screen printing
The main purpose of the pattern in screen printing is to convey information, and it is also the most basic element of information transmission. Because the screen screen has good toughness and high wear resistance, the material characteristics of screen printing are used in the design process. Combined with the characteristics of the substrate, it releases new aesthetic forms and potentials, which can be turned from the technical level to the deep field of the art form level, and excavate the artistic language in screen printing that is more unique and compatible Advantage.
1. Silkscreen prints
Silkscreen prints can be said to be an independent art form that combines modern art concepts and printing methods. It not only emphasizes the diversity of its artistic expression methods, but also can be applied to objects of different shapes according to the changes in the substrate. Screen prints can exert their excellent artistic expression in painting colors. First of all, there are many kinds of pigments selected, which can show the thick feeling and imprint texture of pattern colors, forming small changes and delicate colors between color blocks. Sense is the embodiment of finding the ability to use and express materials in artistic practice.
The expressive ability is reflected in the changeable media and media used by the artist through the

silkscreen prints

, which provides a variety of possibilities for expression, which is a further sublimation of the production and artistic concept, and broadens the artist’s thinking dimension and way. When it comes to silkscreen prints, American pop artist Andy Warhol usually redraws on the basis of the original drawings, keeping traces of their patterns, or using repeated ideas. For example, in his series of soup cans, he will first draw the main body of a can, from color slides to projecting it on the screen for different spatial and form combinations, most of which are blank in the space other than the main body The processing of the painting can better highlight the subject and form an interaction of positive and negative space, which shows that he attaches great importance to the language of patterns and diversity. From another perspective, it reflects the uniqueness of the work and the expression of personal emotions. And that’s the beauty of wire mesh art.
2. Silk scarves
As a kind of decoration in clothing, silk scarves must not only have decorative beauty, but also have certain functions. The birth of Hermès scarves is a process of combining creativity and technology. The combination of screen printing technology and patterns is incisively and vividly. It takes a year from the beginning of the design. This brand culture can be experienced from the design of the pattern. , not just a commodity
The emergence of , is that the designer injects the spirit of the brand into it, and each silk scarf has its story. Hermès’ initial pattern used on silk scarves can be seen to be based on horse elements, produced by various elements or combinations – a rhythm or rhythm, and there must be a certain visual unity between different elements. Sex also needs to bring out the personality characteristics in the details. Ayi can see from the unity and coordination of color matching, and by changing the size and texture order of the pattern, and making regular additions and subtractions, it produces a strong sense of space, and can feel a lively and jumping atmosphere. The designer You can also follow your own ideas to deform and create on other elements, so as to design new patterns. The brand is a value-added process of art, creating an enduring work.
(3) The development trend of screen printing technology in pattern performance
This is a fast era of “reading pictures”, people continue to heat up the beauty of things, and usher in greater opportunities and challenges for the wire

mesh

industry, which is closely related to patterns. In the 21st century where digital media and cutting-edge technologies are developing rapidly, the

screen printing technology

industry shows its charm with a more advantageous momentum, and constantly brings various forms of resources to the society. In the illustration industry on the Internet , mostly by computer or hand drawn drawings, but in recent years, many illustrators choose to use screen printing to break through the bottleneck, give full play to its reproducibility, texture and other handicraft effects, so that the illustrations have new attributes, and the illustrations that convey information become A more realistic feeling, more diverse in form, and new changes in the creative steps. “In the application form of screen printing, the application field has also become wider, which provides more choices for the direction of future research and development of screen printing. Adjusting its depth according to the bearing capacity of different carriers can make the pattern more three-dimensional. , There are layers. Among them, the diversity of screen printing technology is reflected in the application of high-demand electronic products, glass, ceramics and other hard objects,

glass screen printing

uses glass glaze for decorative printing on glass products, and in lamps , high-grade utensils, architectural glass decoration and arts and crafts are often used in ice patterns, this process will form colored, raised transparent relief patterns. Initially, the patterns on ceramics were mostly engraved, painted and decals transferred.
Etc., nowadays the screen printing technology is updated and the application in the ceramic industry is also becoming more and more active. At first, the use of screen printing in ceramics started late, which made the development of the printing process slower, but now the technology has been fully able to complete multiple specifications. , The printing of full flower pattern, and the decorative pattern is beautiful, no interface, and the pattern is mostly totem pattern. With the emergence of such diverse carriers, the forms of painting can complement each other, absorb new nutrients, and the silk screen craft has a new extension. The expansion of the scope of application represents the innovation of technology under the rapid development of the times, and the breaking of the boundary between pure art and commercial art. In the art development of screen printing, continue to combine advanced technology and new forms, and the prospects of the art form will be broader.
