Tutorial week 7 - Stencils and paper cuts

The first image is used to create a stencil:












Response

Personally, this art piece portray how military forces have to keep hostile forces at bay day and night which is why the background is a sunset background.

Description

It is actually a photo taken on low contrast and lighting to only display the shadows instead of having prominent features.

Analysis and Interpretation

This picture convey the ideas how military forces are working 24/7 without fail to keep the country's defense force strong and going. The hardship they have to go through out in the wilderness and trainings they have to go through to maintain their combat readiness.

Evaluation and judgment

People who have not serve the military forces would not understand the hardship and would probably interpret the picture differently.

Making use of a tracing paper and hard A4 card, I created the stencil on the hard A4 card



















I have to cut out the stencil in the opposite manner instead of having the outline on the piece of white paper as the figure on the right, the gap between the figure's leg cannot be bridged if it is not done this way.















The second image that is used is as follows (paper cut):














Response

Personally, this art piece portray how many primates like animals gather together to form a fan like feature

Description

It is actually a photo taken on sharp contrast and high lighting to reveal many of its features

Analysis and Interpretation

This portray how animals should not be in captive. Animals should be free and hunt for their own food whenever they are hungry instead of being fed at intervals.

Evaluation and judgment

Many people would not know the implications behind animal captivity and take things at face value, animals are being fed well.


Making it a stencil would not be effective as this has a lot of complicated elements and is hard to actually carve out details for the stencil. Hence, I used this image for a paper cut. Nevertheless it is still really complicated (especially the tail). Similarly as image one, I transferred it on a A4 white card via a tracing paper before cutting it.














This is the final papercut, to make it more apparent that it is a picture of animals gathering, I cut out their ears to make it more obvious.















Some of the problems faced with this work is that the bridging for the tail should be taken note of. I broke some of the bridging while cutting the artpiece.


















The third image is used as a stencil as follows:














Response

Personally, this art piece portray how baby animals are being exploited from young.

Description

It is actually a photo taken on sharp contrast and high lighting to reveal many of its features

Analysis and Interpretation

This portray how animals should not be in captive and should be released and learning appropriate skills in the wild rather than being in captive.

Evaluation and judgment

Many people would not know the implications behind animal captivity and take things at face value, animals being cute and well groomed. But little did they know that the baby panda might lack essential skills to survive in the wild.

The stencil look as follows:













Initially, tried adding more features such as the paws into the stencil but seems like it does not help in making it obvious that it is a panda and at the same time, bridging the claws is very challenging, I tried and broke the bridge and end up cutting out the whole piece instead of including the details.



The fourth image is cut out as a papercut. The image is as follows:









Response

Personally, this art piece portray how users should be environmentally friendly minded and adopt more energy saving and hybrid cars

Description

It is actually a photo taken on sharp contrast and high lighting to reveal many of its features of the cars to let viewers know it is a hybrid car.

Analysis and Interpretation

People might not want to spend extra money on a hybrid car, which might bring inconvenience for them when they want to refuel/ charge the car. But the picture encourages users to actually adopt hybrid car as it would better save the environment.

Evaluation and judgment


It would be hard to change the mindsets of people, people who want a car either buy it for convenience or luxury, never there is a point of time it is for the earth, Making it hard to change the minds of people towards the interpretation of the image.






Tracing the little details such as the window pane and the details on the wheels is crucial in making it look like a car. Ultimately some details such as the side window pane has to be left out as the whole window is being cut out:














Omitting details on the background rather than the car, the final results is as follows:















One of the most challenging part would be the front bumper of the car, with very intricate bridging which i broke one side of it:















Spray painting the stencils of image 1 and 3:

The spray paint used is as follows:














In the future, when spray painting a test should be done as in this case the first spray tend to spray alot of paint out of the can which nearly spoil the stencil:













As seen in the image one side of the image has too much paint, fortunately, it did not do any much serious damage.
