If you follow this blog, you have seen this stencil-artist before.
“A” is amazingly fast at taking a design and rendering it
into a stencil. He can visualize the positive-negative relationship and cut
them faster than I can say “put a board under it – and don’t cut yourself!” For his final project, he cut 8 or 9 new
stencils to decorate his skateboard. Unfortunately, between cutting and
spraying, we got our first snow and things have gotten downright unpleasant out
the back door.
Undaunted, “A” completed his project, overlaying designs and
colors as planned. He is preserving his stencils for future work at home. The
next time I see “A” in class, he will be an 8th grader! Our time is
art goes by too fast.
