Art Practical- Screen Printing

FreeFallin94

I did screen printing for my Mock and got 66/100. Now I'd really like to do this for the actual exam and am just wondering how I can improve?
This is what I did for my Mock:

Obviously the ink bled a bit but I ended up using a really loose screen so my red ink was a bit of a mess. My teacher also said that the little mistakes on my print (like the black bits not fitting into the wings properly) are ok because we're not using a machine so it can never actually be perfect anyway (hopefully this is true!)

I'm also planning on using at least one more colour in the actual exam.

The corrector wrote on my preliminary sheet that an "alternative to finish piece needed on 2nd sheet to boost grade". what exactly does this mean? Because my teacher was actually quite confused :P

Apparently I also need a larger variety of ideas using pattern and colour studies, and I'm wondering why my own teacher never mentioned this to me at all He seemed fine with what i'd done!

Anyway, if anyone is actually doing screenprinting here I'd appreciate any advice on how to get a higher mark overall
