Agenda

•Go over what we did last time.• Listen to the steps to making a stencil• Finish designs and stencils•Make copies

Last time

•We learned how a stencil is made.•We began designing the stencils.

Step 1

Come up with a plan before starting to make spray paint stencils. • Determine what size stencil you need. If the stencil is

going to be large, it is okay to include small details. If the stencil is going to be small, a simpler design should be used.• Know how many colors you want to include in the

stenciled image. This will affect the amount of materials you need and how many stencils you need to create.• For this assignment you will only use one color.

Step 2

• Draw a picture of the image

you want to create a stencil

From.

- Remember it has to all be connected to the outside material or it will not work.

Step 3

• Create the final image with clean lines and good contrast. • If you are drawing your own image, clearly

outline the areas of the image that will be cut out for the stencil. Remember that you need to define the edges and the details of your image, or the stencil will not portray your original drawing.

• If you are using a photograph or an online image, you need to use a software program that can adjust the contrast and brightness of your image so that you have defined dark and light areas.

Step 4

• Choose the type of stencil material you want to use. • Cardboard or foam board are good for large,

simple stencils on flat surfaces.• Paper works for a single-use stencil on either

flat or rounded surfaces.• Poster board holds up better than paper and

can be used on flat or slightly rounded surfaces.• Plastic or clear acetate are good if creating

reusable stencils for either flat or rounded surfaces.

• Frisket film, which is a clear film with a slightly sticky backing, is good for flat and rounded surfaces.

Step 5

• Cut out the areas of your image where you want the paint to show using a utility knife. If the stencil will have more than one color, create different stencils for each color.

The Assignment

• Design your stencil design of your choice.

• Re-draw the design onto the transparency sheet.

• Cut out the design.

• Spray paint onto 3 pieces of paper your design.

• Let dry on drying rack.

• Once done draw for extra credit or work on missing assignments.
