3. Challenge
Take Shepard Fairey’s iconic “HOPE” poster and
using the imagery as inspiration for this project,
create a stenciled poster.
Each of you will use colored construction paper
as the element of color for this challenge, in
which you have creative freedom over choosing
how the final image will look.
Each poster will have to include a WORD at the
bottom of the poster that describes the
image/portrait used.

Day 1:
Using either the computer/laptops or your phone,
you will take a self-portrait and run it through the
steps detailed on the next slide to create a 2
color stencil.
Once you have “created” the digital stencil, you
will email it to me along with the word that you
are using to describe the image.

6. Requirements 1. Each student will supply the imagery
(DIGITAL FORM) to be used for there
stencil.
*This means you will need to have either
a digital picture of yourself (suitable) and
or images from another source that can
be accessed through a computer.

7. Requirements 2. All students will use technology (teacher
demo) to recreate their image(s) into a basic
3 color stencil using digital resources.
