Information About

Stencil Graffiti




Stencil graffiti makes use of a paper, cardboard, or other media to create an image or text that is easily reproduceable. The desired design is cut out onto the piece of paper and then the image is transferred to a surface through the use of spray paint or roll-on paint. The paint is sprayed through the holes onto a surface below - and thus it is known as stenciling. Stencil s can be quickly applied to a wall and sprayed so the artist can avoid prosecution.

Those who make and apply stencils have many motivations. For some, it is an easy method to produce a political message. Many artists appreciate the publicity that their artwork can receive. And some just want their work to be seen.
