Street Art Que Guai!!

Wow the cans festival how cool!!

Stencil art is easy to do as well. Here Matte Resist explains how to make stencils:

"Come up with a design, but remember that you cannot have "islands" such as the middle of an "O" or "R." You can use straight lines to connect the islands, or you can disguise it a little by making what appear to be slight flaws. (See the c and o in the mind control stencil right:)

Transfer your design to a piece of cardboard or transparency. One free resource is recycled cardboard. You can draw your design straight onto the cardboard or transparency. Also thinner cardboard can be cut down to 8.5" x 11" and run through a photocopier. Try to keep the design towards the middle of the cardboard.

Using an incredibly sharp Knife or other blade cut out the design. (DISCLAIMER -don't try this at home kids, do it in the park or your mates house but get an adult to help you. ha ha) A dull knife will end up ripping the cardboard and cause a lot of problems.

Spray-Paint works best with cardboard stencils. Just place the stencil over whatever you want it on and spray a coat of paint. For Transparency stencils use acrylic paint, dabbed with a sponge or brush. Use little paint to stop it running.

To preserve your stencil, dab any excess paint off before it dries. With transparency stencils you can rinse them in water. "

Now get to work try doing different layers in different colours!! remember you can do it on clothes, stuff, walls anywhere it will be seen! Use stencils to get your voice heard!! Tell it how it is and make it funny!!
