The session started with Tony showing the screen printing tools and giving an example of the printing process. Pupils were then asked to refer back to their bravado metaphors and draw their bravado faces (see details below). These were then cut out and printed onto their bravado banner.

When they had finished printing some of the pupils went on-line and completed a worksheet about their session - here are a few of the replies:

What shape did you decide to print?
My exaggerated face
Face and tortoise
Fish Head and Book
A super-computer

What did it represent?
Me being as hard as nails
Wisdom
African nation
My genius

Did you enjoy printing? Can you write a couple of lines explaining what you did in your own words?
I did enjoy printing. First we drew a face onto a peice of paper and then we cut it out by folding it and cutting it out. Then we put it on the cloth and took the polyester filming with tiny holes in it (screen) and we placed it on the face cut-outs and put the ink on it, then spread it around the filming and it was forced through the holes but under the paper faces there was no paint so the faces were imprinted on the cloth and then we were finished.

Please write a couple of bravado lines about your screen printing experience.
When I was printing I was as nervous as a fox in the middle of speeding traffic - my print came out brilliant, I was very relieved
When I print I am as wise as a tortoise and as big as a mountain
When I print I am as powerful as a lion and as talented as Michael Jackson
When I print I am as proud as punch and I thought it was the best
