PRINTMAKING:
The process of preparing a ‘plate’ and transferring the image onto another surface.
PRINT:

PLATE:

SCREEN PRINT:A stencil method of printmaking in which a design is imposed on a screen and ink
is forced through the screen onto the printing surface.
STENCIL GRAFFITI:Stencil graffiti makes use of a paper,
cardboard, or other media to create an image or text that is easily reproducible.
The desired design is cut out of the selected medium and then the image is
transferred to a surface through the use of spray paint or roll-on paint.
So, I know what stencil graffiti is now…but what is graffiti?
Graffiti:
drawing or inscription made on a wall or other surface, usually to be seen by the public.

What we will be doing:
Individually, each student will design and draw a stencil. Upon completion, we will put all the stencils onto a “permission wall” to create our very own stencil graffiti “piece.”
PERMISSION WALL:
walls and surfaces that are legal to create graffiti art on
PIECE:
short for ‘masterpiece; a complex graffiti mural that takes several hours or days to complete
TODAY!
For the rest of class, please work with a partner and create an original stencil design. BE
CREATIVE! Do not just use names…this is not a tag. Complete 1 completed image with
your partner. Think about the context. Will this be a funny piece? Will this piece send a message? Will this piece make you think
about the state of the world? Finally, think of a name for your piece.
THE END.
