• A stencil is a thin sheet of material, such as paper, plastic,
wood or metal, with letters or a design cut from it, used to
produce the letters or design on an underlying surface by
applying pigment through the cut-out holes in the material.
The key advantage of a stencil is that it can be reused to
repeatedly and rapidly produce the same letters or design.
The design produced with a stencil is also called a stencil.
The context in which stencil is used makes clear which
meaning is intended. print stencils can be made for multple
time use, typically they are made with the intention of being
reused. To be reusable, they must remain intact after a design
is produced and the stencil is removed from the work surface.
With some designs, this is done by connecting stencil islands
(sections of material that are inside cut-out "holes" in the
stencil) to other parts of the stencil with bridges (narrow
sections of material that are not cut out
•What is Stencil cut
• Stencil technique in visual art is also referred
to as pochoir. A related technique (which has
found applicability in some surrealist
compositions) is aerography, in which print is
done around a three-dimensional object to
create a negative of the object instead of a
positive of a stencil design. This technique was
used in cave paintings dating to 10,000 BC,
where human hands were used in painting
hand print outlines among paintings of animals
and other objects. The artist sprayed pigment
around his hand by using a hollow bone, blown
by mouth to direct a stream of pigment.
•History of Stencil cut
• Screen printing also uses a stencil
process, as does mimeography. The
masters from which mimeographed
pages are printed are often called
"stencils". Stencils can be made with
one or many colour layers using
different techniques, with most stencils
designed to be applied as solid colours.
During screen printing and mimeography
the images for stenciling are broken
down into color layers. Multiple layers of
stencils are used on the same surface to
produce multi-colored images.

•History of Stencil cut
PREHISTORIC PERIOD
• Paintings where the hand was
used as a stencil, in a cave in
Argentina
• Stencil paintings of hands were
common throughout the
prehistoric period. Stencils may
have been used to colour cloth for
a very long time; the technique
probably reached its peak of
sophistication in Katazome and
other techniques used on silks for
clothes during the Edo period in
Japan. In Europe, from about
1450 they were commonly used
to colour old master prints
printed in black and white
•History of Stencil cut This technique was used in cave paintings dating to 10,000 BC
• Stencils were popular as a method of book
illustration, and for that purpose the technique
was at its height of popularity in France during
the 1920s when André Marty, Jean Saudé and
many other studios in Paris specialised in the
technique. Low wages contributed to the
popularity of the highly labour-intensive
process.When stencils are used in this way
they are often called "pochoir". In the pochoir
process, a print with the outlines of the design
was produced, and a series of stencils were
used through which areas of color were
applied by hand to the page. To produce detail,
a collotype could be produced which the colors
were then stenciled over.
•Book illustration
• Pochoir was
frequently used to
create prints of
intense color, and is
most often
associated with Art
Nouveau and Art
Deco design
•Aerosol stencils

• "Happy 1984" —

Berlin Wall in
2005. The object

•Aerosol stencils
Berlin Wall
• Stencil used for identification
(drum case at The Allman
Brothers Museum)
• Aerosol stencils have many
practical applications and the
stencil concept is used frequently
in industrial, commercial, artistic,
residential and recreational
settings, as well as by the
military, government and
infrastructure management. A
template is used to create an
outline for the image. Stencils
templates can be made from any
material which will hold its form,
ranging from plain paper,
cardboard, plastic sheets, metals
and wood.
•Aerosol stencils
• Official use
• Stencils are frequently used by
official organizations, including
the military, utility companies and
governments, to quickly and
clearly label objects, vehicles and
locations. Stencils for official
application can be customized, or
purchased as individual letters,
numbers and symbols. This
allows the user to arrange words,
phrases and other labels from one
set of templates, unique to the
item being labeled. When objects
are labeled using a single
template alphabet, it makes it
easier to identify their affiliation
or source.

•Aerosol stencils
• Stencils have also
become popular for
graffiti, since stencil art
using spray-paint can be
produced quickly and
easily. These qualities
are important for graffiti
artists where graffiti is
illegal or quasi-legal,
depending on the city
and stenciling surface.
The extensive lettering
possible with stencils
makes it especially
attractive to political
artists.
Stencil graffiti
• For example, the anarcho-punk
band Crass used stencils of
anti-war, anarchist, feminist
and anti-consumerist messages
in a long-term graffiti campaign
around the London
Underground system and on
advertising billboards. Also
well known for their use of
stencil art are Blek le Rat and
Jef aerosol from France, British
artist Banksy, New York artist
John Fekner, world traveling
artist Above, Shepard Fairey's
OBEY, and Pirate & Acid from
Hollywood, California.
•Stencil graffiti
Banksy is a pseudonymous
England-based graffiti artist,
political activist, film director,
and painter.
His satirical street art combine
dark humour with graffiti done
in a distinctive stencilling
technique.
Such artistic works of political
and social commentary have
been featured on streets, walls,
and bridges of cities and even
in galleries throughout the
world.

His work is often Political. He makes us question our views. Some themes include:●War: the violence and its necessity●Violence of gangs in London●Loss of innocence of childhood●Peace●The corruption of Politics and consumerismJust to name a few. Now judge for yourself….
Do you recognise this wall?
Within the last twenty years, Shepard
Fairey has become one of the most
influential street artists of our time.
Born in Charleston, South Carolina, his
initial interests include skateboarding,
punk rock, and drawing. It was in tenth
grade when Fairey produced self-made
punk rock t-shirts that started his
ongoing relationship with the silk-screen
technique. He pursued his interest in art
at the Rhode Island School of Design
where he launched his “Obey Giant”
street campaign that attracted popular
urban attention.
Fairey’s work combines silk-screening and graphic techniques producing stickers, clothing, skateboards, posters, stencil-based graffiti, and film. By reproducing his original images, Fairey is able to circulate and communicate his ideas to the mass public. He reutilizes a propagandistic approach, influenced by counter-cultural revolutionaries, the urban street art scene, rap and punk rock musicians, often visible in his conservative use of color and stenciled images.
Loaded with political insinuations, Fairey’s practices obscure the line between fine and commercial art, asking his audience to question the effects of the media and their societal surroundings. The artist currently lives and works in Los Angeles where he also manages his founded design firm, Studio Number One.
Shepard Fairey, “Guns and Roses,” 2007
Although Fairey’s work has been around for over twenty years, he has loitered under the radar and avoided institutional recognition prior to his posters for the Obama campaign. He has been commissioned to design several album covers and posters for musicians such as Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Queens of the Stone Age, the Smashing Pumpkins, the Black-Eyed Peas, and Guns and Roses, to name a few. Unlike many other historically renowned art masters, Fairey employs what he calls a “populist agenda,” utilizing consumer products and urban display as his canvases. He views his art as “bureaucracy free,” that reuses recognizable symbols and motifs. By creating album covers and reproducing posters and stickers, Fairey avoids elitism and reaches the common pedestrian.
Shepard Fairey street art, “Duality of Humanity,” Washington, D.C., 2009
“It’s important to do things for people who don’t necessarily see the value of an elitist art world endeavor. I make art to communicate with as many people as possible, and the more universal I can make it, the better.”
-Shepard Fairey, “Shepard Fairey, Citizen Artist,” in Progressive Magazine, by
Antonino D’Ambrosio
Shepard Fairey, “Make Art, Not War,” print, 2004
Much of Fairey’s work is inherently political, commenting on both the national and international social state. His work is very confrontational, sometimes directly stating his message and other times satirizing contemporary society and politics. By reusing his coined symbols and motifs, such as the “Obey Icon,” Fairey continues to address the inevitable influence of propaganda, while quoting his work’s past effect on consumer culture.
