Stencil Printmaking –Positive Negative Design Name:______ STENCIL PRINTMAKING –POSITIVE NEGATIVE DESIGN NAME:___________ A stencil is a template used to draw or paint identical letters, symbols, shapes, or patterns every time it is used. Stencils are formed by removing sections from template material in the form of text or an image. This creates what is essentially a physical negative. The template can then be used to create impressions of the stenciled image, by applying pigment on the surface of the template and through the removed sections, leaving a reproduction of the stencil on the Bob Dylan Stencil underlying surface. Aerosol or painting stencils must remain Sections of the remaining template which are isolated inside removed parts contiguous after the image is of the image are called islands.

Stencil History Stencils may have been used to color 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 very commonly used to colour old master prints printedin black and white, usually woodcuts. This was especially the case with playing- cards, which continued to be coloured by stencil long after most other subjects for prints were left in black and white. Stenciling back in the 2600 BC's was different. They used color from plants and flowers such as indigo (which extracts blue). Japanese Woodcut Stencils were Katsushika Hokusai (Japanese, 1760-1849) used for mass publications, as South Wind, Clearing Skies, from the series Thirty-six Views of Mt.

Here, Melbourne-based copyright lawyer, Sharon Givoni, considers how the laws relating to street art may be relevant to illustrators. She tries to make you “street smart” in an environment where increasingly such creations are not only tolerated, but even celebrated. 1 Street Art Melbourne, Lou Chamberlin, Explore Australia Publishing Pty Ltd, 2013, Comments made on the back cover. It canvasses: 1. copyright issues; 2. moral rights laws; and 3. the conflict between intellectual property and real property. Why this topic? One only needs to drive down the streets of Melbourne to realise that urban art is so ubiquitous that the city has been unofficially dubbed the stencil graffiti capital. Street art has rapidly gained momentum as an art form in its own right. So much so that Melbourne-based street artist Luke Cornish (aka E.L.K.) was an Archibald finalist in 2012 with his street art inspired stencilled portrait.1 The work, according to Bonham’s Auction House, was recently sold at auction for AUD $34,160.00.2 Stencil seen in the London suburb of Shoreditch. Photo Credit: Chris Scott Artist: Unknown It is therefore becoming increasingly important that illustra- tors working within the street art scene understand how the law (particularly copyright law) may apply.

    Vol 1 No 2 (Autumn 2020) Online: jps.library.utoronto.ca/index.php/nexj Visit our WebBlog: newexplorations.net Street Art Rising Marshall Soules—[email protected] This illustrated article discusses the various manifestations of street art—graffiti, posters, stencils, social murals—and the impact of street art on urban environments. Continuing perceptions of street art as vandalism contributing to urban decay neglects to account for street art’s full spectrum of effects. As freedom of expression protected by law, as news from under-privileged classes, as images of social uplift and consciousness-raising, and as beautification of urban milieux, street art has social benefits requiring re-assessment. Street art has become a significant global art movement. Detailed contextual history includes the photographer Brassai's interest in Parisian graffiti between the world wars; Cézanne’s use of passage; Walter Benjamin's assemblage of fragments in The Arcades Project; the practice of dérive (passage through diverse ambiances, drifting) and détournement (rerouting, hijacking) as social and political intervention advocated by Guy Debord and the Situationist International; Dada and Surrealist montage and collage; and the art of Quebec Automatists and French Nouveaux réalistes. Present street art engages dynamically with 20th C. art history. The article explores McLuhan’s ideas about the power of mosaic style to subvert the received order, opening spaces for new discourse to emerge, new patterns to be discovered. The author compares street art to advertising, and raises questions about appropriation, authenticity, and style. How does street art survive when it leaves the streets for galleries, design shops, and museums? Street art continues to challenge communication strategies of the privileged classes and elected officials, and increasingly plays a reconstructive role in modulating the emotional tenor of urban spaces.

  • Lorraine O'grady Writing in Space
    Mlle Bourgeoise Noire and her Master of Ceremonies arrive for her 25th Anniversary celebration at precisely 9:00 p.m. They have dificulty entering (their names having been omitted from the guest list at the door). After a few peremptory commands by Mlle Bourgeoise Noire, they are let in, passing through the tight pink maze especially designed by artist David Hammons and featuring three salt ish hanging from hooks. At last they can greet the crowds awaiting them. Oohs and aahs on all sides for Mlle Bourgeoise Noire’s gown. After all these years, it still its. She smiles, she smiles, she smiles. Mlle Bourgeoise Noire has lost none of the charm that originally won her crown. Each of her nine tails has three white chrysanthemums, which she gives to her subjects one at a time as she says, while smiling brightly, “Won’t you help me lighten my heavy bouquet?” She moves gradually around the room. Photographers and video cameramen are having a ield day. Mlle Bourgeoise Noire, in her 180 pairs of white gloves, white cat-o- nine-tails, and rhinestone and seed pearl crown, is very photogenic. Unreluctantly, she obliges them. But Mlle Bourgeoise Noire has had a change of heart between 1955 and 1980. She has come to a conclusion. As the band goes on its break, she discreetly retires. All her flowers have been given away, and now she removes her cape, handing it to her Master of Ceremonies. She is wearing a backless, white-glove gown. Her , by prearranged signal, hands her a pair of above-the-elbow gloves, which she proceeds to put on.

  • Examining Street Art Expressions of Social Justice Who Is Banksy? and When He Did First Appear?
    Examining Street Art Expressions of Social Justice Who is Banksy? And when he did first appear? We don't exactly know. Banksy is a famous - but anonymous - British graffiti artist. He keeps his identity a secret. Although a lot of his art is produced in public places, he usually only reveals it's his after it has appeared on his social media. A lot of his art is done in a particular style which people can easily recognise. Although lots of people have tried to guess who he is, his identity has still not been revealed. Banksy first got noticed for spray-painting trains and walls in his home city of Bristol during the early 1990s. Street art and graffiti can be considered criminal damage, so in the beginning it's thought the artist stayed anonymous to keep out of trouble. In the beginning his pieces were mainly in Bristol, but in the 2000s his artworks started appearing all over the UK and other parts of the world. What is Banksy's style? Banksy chose to use stencils to create his pieces, probably because it's a faster way to paint. He was influenced in his early days by a French graffiti artist called Blek le Rat. Blek le Rat is considered to be the father of stencil graffiti and people sometimes confuse the work of the two artists. Banksy doesn't only do street art, he's produced drawings, paintings and installation pieces. He even created his own theme park called Dismaland. What is he trying to say with his art? Banksy's work is known for delivering political messages.

  • La Creatividad Como Forma De Identidad Y Ejercicio De Ciudadanía
    LA CREATIVIDAD COMO FORMA DE IDENTIDAD Y EJERCICIO DE CIUDADANÍA. El caso del postgraffiti. Dr. Jesús Alberto Peredo Pozos 46 Arq. Melissa Guadalupe Retamoza Ávila 47 PALABRAS CLAVE: Postgraffiti, identidad, creatividad, ciudadanía. Resumen Dentro de los diversos fenómenos socio-urbanos contemporáneos, los que corresponden a la contracultura son algunos de los que tienen mayor impacto y participación específica en la esfera pública. Estas formas de cohabitar un territorio supone, en la mayoría de los casos un rechazo sistemático generalizado, tanto por la irrupción al orden establecido, como por su condición emergente y sus lenguajes novedosos, codificados y transgresores con que se manifiestan. A pesar de que los sectores sociales oficialmente válidos no reconocen de una forma abierta su autenticidad e importancia para el autoconocimiento social y territorial, la permanencia de estas formas subversivas de habitar la ciudad, habla de una fuerza que construye tanto identidades como patrimonio e imaginarios al paso del tiempo. Ejemplo de lo anterior, podría ser el fenómeno graffiti surgido en los años 70 del pasado siglo, que luego de haber sido objeto de persecución policiaca, al paso de los años algunas de éstas obras han llegado a otorgar una suerte de identidad comunitaria o patrimonio urbano insospechado. Este sería el caso de las intervenciones del denominado “padre del graffiti” Taki 183, a quien en la actualidad le dedican homenajes, retrospectivas, exposiciones y hasta la protección o conservación de las pocas intervenciones que aún persisten dentro del Area Metropolitana de Nueva York. Años después se han replicado fenómenos alrededor del mundo como el caso del artista inglés Banksy, que ha llegado a conmocionar tanto a las autoridades como a corredores de arte y ciudadanos de todo el mundo.
