  11. Stencil Graffiti history in a nutshell… Stencil Graffiti is said to have originated in Baltimore, Maryland as a communication tool between artists in the late 1960’s/early 1970’s…although there were artists doing similar work in New York City and Paris, France around the same time. The stencil itself has been used for centuries though. Stencil Graffiti in its early form was used to usually send a political or subversive message.

  14. Your Images are to be no larger than • 8.5 x 11 inches and no smaller than • 4 x 6 inches. • We will be using Adobe Photoshop to make • adjustments, then printing the images in • order to create the stencils. • Further instruction and demos will be provided • Throughout the following weeks.
