Spray Paint Stencil

For this project, I got a photo of my dog. Then, I put the picture on Adobe Photoshop. On Adobe Photoshop, I transformed the photo into a threshold image. The threshhold setting made the picture into 2 colors. Black and white. It also made the picture into a solid. After I printed the picture out, I traced the outline of my dog on a big sheet of paper. Then, I cut out the lines and out came a stencil of my dog! The stencil consisted of all the white that you see in the image above. With my stencil, I placed it on a piece of cardboard that I had painted white. I then took black spray paint and sprayed the whole cardboard. When I peeled back the stencil, the black spray paint had outlined the image of my dog and made my dog look so real.
I also made my own frame. I took a long piece of wood and sawed it into 4 smaller pieces of wood. Then, I nailed them together. With my wood frame, I stapled a piece of cardboard to the back of the frame. After, I painted the wood blue and the cardboard white.
