This quick video shows how multiple colors can be applied using a single stencil. Watch the stencils carefully as they are peeling them away from the wall. This is one of the advantages of stenciling over silk screening. The big key to creating a successful stencil painting (especially on fabric) is keep the paint very thin! The paint should add color, not weight and stiffness.
This tutorial is from the Art Institute of Chicago. Show the tapping technique for stenciling. It also show how human hair was used to "float" a circle in a circle. Stenciling is a great way to design t-shirts, bags, pillows and many other pieces. The stencil can be reused as well. Make sure you keep those stencils. They will be turned in as part of your grade. (Silk screen stencil are not turned in. They are too fragile)
This final video shows how to use contact paper as a stencil. You can try this on your final, but not for your sample. You would have to get your own contact paper. Ask around at home, often there is some there waiting to be used.
