I think overall my stencil project was a success. From the start I knew it would. There were many steps in this project. The first one was choosing a picture. I choose one of me smiling because that is basically my personality. So that part was easy. The next step was transferring the lines to large pieces of paper. This part was hard because you had to be exact. Once we did this we had to cut out the individual stencils. This part was very time consuming and cut up my hands so I didn't really like it that much. Once I had this done it was time to pick out colors and my background. I decided to go with a yellow background since my face has a spot of yellow and it will show through. Other than that, I choose colors that I thought would fit well together. The spray painting part of this project was fun. Though in some parts I messed up, I think they ended up looking good but it isn't suppose to be perfect. That is the big thing I learned in this project, all art isn't perfect, especially spray painting. And if you mess up, sometimes you have to go with it. So in the end I am very happy with my result and I'm glad all my ideas came together some how to make this piece of artwork.
