Stencils
Description
Simply stated, stencils are materials (usually resistant to fluids like metal, wood, plastic, or paper) that feature perforated patterns or letters through which a substance (ink, paint, or metallic powder) is forced onto a surface to be printed.
Why stencils are popular.
The stencil comes with significant advantages for artists and designers as they can be used over and over again to produce the same patterns or letters.
The history of stenciling.
As far back as primitive cave paintings, stencils have been in use throughout various eras of human history. The evolution of the stencil can be seen in periods such as the Katazome during Japan’s Edo period and in Europe throughout the Middle Ages as seen in woodcuts. In modern times, stencils have been used for a variety of purposes, some art-related and others more utilitarian. Grafitti is a classic example of stencil usage in today’s world. Whatever the desired outcome, stencils are ideal for the kind of creativity that requires simple, immediate results in a timely fashion.
