For the last past 2 - 3 weeks, we've been working on stencilling in Art. Our first step was to find a shape anyway, and draw it down and then cut it out to make our stencil. we then had to paint on our stencil and make it pop.
For this, I used two symbols from one of the games I play.
One was based on the class White Mage, which is a class which bases its self on healing.
The other one I used was a tank Symbol, this class is called Gunbreaked and of course it mainly about attacking.
I picked the White Mage symbol because It's the class I play
And I picked the Gunbreaker symbol because one of the characters who follow you in your journey is a Gunbreaker.

Subject Matter | Form | Composition / Space | Content / Meaning |
What is the subject matter of your stencil? A Mickey Mouse? Gumboots? Kowhaiwhai?
My subject matter is a pair of symbols that gives off a name. The one on the left is Called GunBreaker, and the one on the right is called White Mage. These symbols are symbols of a class from a game called FFXIV
Gunbreaker is a tank while White Mage is a healer.
| Does your colour set a mood or structure the picture space?
Not really using colour (Used Black and Whites) | What is the chief interest of your painting? The stencil shape? The negative space?
The Stencil’s themselves as I know the meaning around them. | Does your stencil express any values or ideas?
My symbols represent a class, The round symbol with the circle in the middle is the healing class White mage.
While the symbol that seems mirrored is the tank class GunBreaker. |
Is your stencil subject matter a symbol? A logo? A portrait? Something else?
A symbol | Are the colours related in bold contrasts or gradual transitions (blends)?
No colours used | Stencils are quite flat. Have you used overlap to create space?
No I didn’t. overlap | Is the meaning of your stencil changed by the way you paint it? repeating the stencil shape?
Nope |
Have combined your stencil with other imagery? For e.g., used it in a landscape?
No, but I’ve added texture to the ground and my image. | Does your painting use a variety of applications of paint? Have you used Impasto or flat painting? A wash, stippling or drybrush?
Used stippling with a brush to give the work texture.
| Tone and Colour contrast create space. Do your colours react against each other? Move forward or backwards in space?
Not really because I only used the shades of Black and White. | How does repeating a stencil symbol change its meaning? Does it have more emphasis or less?
Didn’t repeat or overlap |
Does your subject matter change? Is the painting more about the colour, form, texture, and space than the stencil subject matter?
Still about the stencil | What kind of texture does your painting have? Were you able to control this effect?
A rough kind of texture. Yes I was able to, before I did my final work, I did a single piece of only the Gun Breaker symbol with the same texture in the background to see the results. | Does the repeated placement of your stencil create any focal points or leading lines?
Nope | How does the colour used change the meaning of the stencil? For e.g.,if a Batman symbol is painted in pink colour?
The original Symbols are all in black, I just changed it to white but it still gives off the same reasoning |
Image of the final thing
The two small pictures are my trials and the big thing is my final with both of the symbols put together.
Kia Ora Ruby, You introduce your the stencil assignment well and provide useful information about your stencil symbols the White Mage and Gunbreaker. The texture of your painting is well done done and you are controlling the paint application well. These symbols have interesting. negative shapes. Could you place the symbols differently to promote the importance of the negative space further? Good use of the matrix to further our thinking about the painting. If you wrap the text in the matrix boxes, it would be easier to read your answers here.
