We looked at Blek le Rat and Banksy. Making an image with stencils is really drawing through (or negotiating with) another material - rather than making direct marks on paper. Another difference is that it needs a lot of planning, simplification and patience, keeping in mind the opposites of black and white, positive and negative, and sometimes having to compromise to keep everything attached! Ink, paint, sometimes sprayed, and rubbed charcoal were used.
