Stencils

For this project we had to find a picture on the computer and put it in photoshop and change the picture to black and white and print it.  Then I projected the picture onto the wall and traced it onto a bigger piece of paper.  We had to either cut out the white or black in the picture with a knife. I had to cut out the white on the picture.  It was hard to cut out because it took a long time.  I had to cut the picture out slowly so I wouldn't accidently cut myself or cut out something I wasn't supposed to.  Then I had to get a piece of wood.  The wood had to be cut into four pieces. We had to use a saw to cut the wood.  It needed to be cut into  two twenty-two inch pieces and two twenty-six inch pieces.  Then I used a hammer and nails to make it into a frame.  Then I took a piece of cardboard and used a staple gun to attach it to the frame.  Then I painted the cardboard and the frame and after it dried I got to spray paint my picture onto the cardboard.  To spray paint it on I put the paper with the picture over the cardboard and sprayed where the picture had been cut out so the picture would then be on the cardboard.   Spray painting the picture was my favorite part of this project.  The picture is of Dobby, the house-elf from Harry Potter.
