Stencil art has a long and rich history throughout humankind. The act of stenciling—a device used to apply a design on a surface—can be traced back to ancient cave art and is still going strong today, from craft projects to fine art paintings to street art. Stenciling is a great way to reproduce a design, making it especially useful for artwork that requires a repeating motif. You likely see stencil art everywhere because of its versatility, and while the concept is simple, creating a stencil takes practice. Get guidance on how to do it yourself with the online course Introduction to Stencil Art, only on My Modern Met Academy.
Renowned street artist Alice Pasquini leads Introduction to Stencil Art. Over the course of an hour, she provides you with a brief history of stencil art and ways to incorporate it into any mixed-media art project.
