Banksy

Banksy was my second choice for my art inquiry. He is an anonymous graffiti artist who's work shows up mostly in England but also in other places around the world. I chose him because of his political art works and the mystery that surrounds him. He does such cool work and it inspired me to do my own Bansky prints. I found out the names of some of his simpler works, e.g balloon girl and then searched on the internet "balloon girl stencil".  Next I printed it out on about 12 peices of a4 paper. The next step was to stick it to cardboard and cut it out. Wow cutting it out is tricky! It took ages to do it with the craft knife, and that was the fastest way. It was worth though because once I had the cardboard cut out all I had to do was spraypaint over the top of it. The paper underneath was left with a cool design once I took the cardboard off. It was hard but it was definately worth the trouble. I learnt lots about stenciling and the techniques that Banksy uses!
