1. Explain how you changed your photo in the lab to create a stencil.
First we went to photoshop and got a picture that we liked from the Internet we liked and would use as a stencil. In photoshop we used the threshold to make the photo black and white. In the stencil we would use the black and white to determine what we wanted to cut out to form the photo so we the Positive/Negative Space.
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.
in my collage i chose different photos that pertained to Italy, Venice, or old time sea faring, some areas were just colorful or was a good border so i pasted it on there just trying to get a good amount of contrast from the photos to make the stencil stand out. Anything that i felt was interesting was put on as well.
3. Discuss the way positive and negative space was used to create your stencil.
The positive/negative space that i used in my stencil was to use the negative space to make the stencil stand out the most. Using the Xacto knife to make the stencil able to print the image onto the collage using spray paint.
4. When using the xacto knife, explain the safety procedures, how to use the knife and any challenges you had to overcome while cutting.
while using the Xacto knife you had to hold it differently from a pencil which was hard to do, and cut away from yourself in case your hand slipped. Also you had to have the cutting board underneath the stencil. A challenge i had with the knife was that i had intricate things to cut out so they came out kind of rough so i was worried that the windows wouldn't show up on the collage.
