week 4 & 5

had serious computer/uploading problems. Here is week 4/5.
In week 4 (the colourful eyeball) I chose to respond to the stencil of a heart done in the previous week. I thought the use of body parts as a subject for a stencil was interesting and unusual, introducing a more abstract approach to stencil art as many are satirical and in some ways political. So I decided to do something a bit different. I also thought the flat diagram of the eye had some interesting shapes. If I was to improve this one I would probably use more realistic colours - these ones are a little bit random.

For week 5 (the face) I responded to the stencil of the girl with a tongue full of tentacles. I thought it was really quirky and cute so I decided to do one of a girl with an egg on her face. Technical errors got the better of me in this one as I cut out parts of the stencil incorrectly. I think this would look a lot better with more layers as I would have been able to include more detail in the facial features and give more definition to the egg. However, it wasn't a complete failure!

there were lots of super heros showing up on the board so i thought id do a stencil of a boy in a getaway car passing some trees... its a bit of a fail attempt. but if you squint your eyes you can kinda see it

stencil 4

there were lots of animals showing up on the board...and every zoo needs a giraffe ...so here it is

so this was in response to a speech bubble; because that's how I roll

week 5 Dan

Hey, it's Ash Ketchum! Ash is responding to the previous girl head, his head is exploding off of hers via a yellow gastric-type liquid.

Stencil 5 - Nick

In Grohl We Trust - This week I was responding to all the pop icons and superheros that have been coming up in the designs. I thought about who I would consider a modern day hero. When I searched images of Dave Grohl there were lots with him looking a little like Jesus with his long hair an' all. So I played on this. The stencil turned out pretty good, though I dont know if I like the purple and I would have liked a little more time to allow the paint to dry properly between layers.
