After looking at the McDonlads bag and finishing learning about basic prints we moved onto wallpapers, which were very interesting to study. We discussed their origins, how to tell time periods, and methods of making. The funny part was when we were holding a piece in our bare hands the instructor was like, "umm...since you dont have gloves on, i just wanted to let you know that you should wash you hands, because a lot of old wallpaper paints were made with toxics, green is notorious for having arsenic in it." Well needless to say that was comforting.
But all and all it made for an interesting class today.
