1. Explain how you changed your photo in the lab to create a stencil.

    I found different pictures and put them in photoshop and messed with the threshold so the pictures showed their positve and negative space. After I did this I printed them out.

2. When creating the collage background explain your choices of colors, materials (magazine paper, books pages, etc), and placement. How does it relate to your topic? If no relation discuss general idea.

     For the background of my collage I just used things that I thought were cool (ie. guns and knive) to go with my really cool car. I chose colors that would have cool contrast as well.

3. Discuss the way positive and negative space was used to create your stencil.

    I used positive and negative space to figure out what parts of my stencil I wanted to cut out of my stencil. Which is also trying to figure out what shapes I wanted to have the spray paint show.

4. When using the xacto knife, explain the safety procedures, how to use the knife and any challenges you had to overcome while cutting.

    When using an xacto knife, you should always have a cutting board underneath what you are cutting and you should always cut away from you.

5. How was your experience with the spray paint? Discuss how color choice is important, placement of stencil, and any other concepts you noticed while creating this. 
   I really liked using the spray paint. It was a lot of fun. When using the spray paint you have to use colors that go well together and you should really try to use contrast.
