This semester for art we are going to be making murals about Hornby. To create the murals we need to use painting techniques to make it the best it can be. Since we started we have been drawing, painting and learning new techniques. Some techniques we used were stencils, layering, texturing and more.
Stencils
Stencils are things that you paint over to create what the stencil left open when making the stencils we were asked to make either a four-leaved clover, a bunny, or a complex looking bird. I decided to create a bunny. It was quite easy because all we had to do was draw the bunny, cut it out and use the paper that we cut the bunny out of as our stencil. We then used paint and a piece of cardboard paper that had a brick style on it and painted on it in different ways. I first fully coloured the bunny as my first go and then started blending the colours to create different ombre’s colours. I then coloured the outline of the bunny to give it a weird look and afterwards I outlined it and left some parts empty to give it a spray paint look. It was really fun because I could use many colours and I didn’t have to try that hard. When cutting out the stencil for the first time I had a little bit of struggle because it wasn’t cutting properly but then It started cutting properly. It was fun to make stencils and I would try to do this again. We were told to do this because of an artist called Bansky. Bansky uses stencils and layers his art to create a defined piece of artwork.
Layering is when you layer paint over your artwork again and again to create a detailed piece of artwork. When making this we learnt how to specifically layer our outwork to make it work properly. It was quite hard to do because of the colours I used but some of the artworks looked better than the others. This took us a few periods because we needed to do quite a lot of different colours and techniques while painting.
What techniques would you use if you were to do this and why?

Hi Trisha, I like your blog post about different Art techniques. I like how you added in photos of your work, giving us proof that you have done the work. Next time maybe add more details about what we have done. Other than that you did really well.
