Stencil

1. Explain how you changed your photo in the lab to create a stencil.

To creat my stencil I found a couple of photos of my car and then photoshopped the car and created a threshold.  All of this was done on the computer.

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.

When I created my collage I used pages of the newspaper and waterglued them down on my paper.  I then used watercolors to add some contrast rather than just a plain white background.  Then I spray painted the background as well.

3. Discuss the way positive and negative space was used to create your stencil.

Positive and negative space was used to creat the composition of my stencil.  By using the light colors like yellow, orange, and pink it added lots of contrast.

4. When using the xacto knife, explain the safety procedures, how to use the knife and any challenges you had to overcome while cutting.

When I used the xacto knife I had to be very careful becasue the blades are very sharp.  You could easily cut yourself with a little poke.  This made cutting the stencil a little harder.  The blade would also fall out of the haldle making it hard to work with.

5. How was your experience with the spray paint? Discuss how color choice is important, placement of stencil, and any other concepts you noticed while creating this.
My experince with spray paint was a good one.  When adding the black for the stencil everything went as planned.  makeing this a very easy part of the assingment.  It was a little hard considering the wind was blowing, but all in all very good project.
