Spray Paint Stencil Portrait

This is a project that took several days to complete. First, I had to saw the wood to make a frame. Then, I had to staple cardboard to the back of the frame and cut off the edges that stuck out. Then I painted the background of the cardboard green. Next, I had to take the picture of me and put it into photoshop. I restricted the number of colors that were in the image to only 4 colors (I chose green, blue, red, and black). Then I projected that photoshopped image onto the wall and traced each layer on a separate sheet of paper for each color. Then, I used an exacto knife to cut out all of the shapes that made up the colors. Then I laid the layers down in the frame and spray painted each color at a time. This project was fun but challenging. It takes patience to cut every shape out individually and trace each of them evenly. I feel like it came out pretty well in the end, though.
