1. Explain how you changed your photo in the lab to create a stencil.
To create our stencil, I chose a picture from the Internet, then in photoshop, changed the threshold.
Back in the classroom, we were creating collages for a background to the spray paint.
2. When creating the collage background explain your choices of colors, materials (magazine paper, books pages, etc), and placement. How does it relate to your topic? If no relation discuss general idea.
I was planning to do a clock tower of sorts, so I was thinking about England. Lots of things came to mind so I just pasted random stuff from books and magazines to make my collage.
3. Discuss the way positive and negative space was used to create your stencil.
I choose to spray paint int he negative space in black, you can't really see it in the picture, but the black and white created a really nice contrast.
4. When using the X-acto knife, explain the safety procedures, how to use the knife and any challenges you had to overcome while cutting.
The cutting part was really fun. When we used X-acto knives, we had to cut on a cutting board and cut it away from ourselves.
It was actually really really fun! You had to choose colors that wouldn't clash with each other and had enough contrast to the color of the collage so that the image could be seen. I had to spray the edges and the little squares of the stencil in dark so it would show up.
