stencil art uses cut stencils then, paint or spray the image cut from the stencil. it can be single layer paint/spray or multiple layers for experienced artist. stenciling can be done on wall, fabric, paper & etc. i find that stenciling can be fun! but, need loads of patience. well, every art work would requires lots of patience, rite? hehe!
for beginner, we were given plain boxes, some color paints, motifs, and sponge for painting. i didn't complete mine as i was particularly slow artist.
the end product looks like this one designed by one of my classmate. be creative and your product would turn out interesting.
if you would like to try, simply google for free stencils. most of the websites provide step-by-step instructions. happy trying!
